Does anyone have suggestions for a trainer in Western Washington state? I have know how but a disabled body and need help getting a good foundation on my girl. She ground drives but I have trouble doing the walking. Thanks!

Is there anyone on the board competing and living in the Springfield MO area? My folks live there, I went to college there, and there is a little chance that I may relocate there. I have no idea what to expect as I didn't have a driving pony when I lived there, just riding horses.

Pony boy Jake has all of a sudden seemed to have forgotten all his training, and turned into a wild little monster. There's always a reason for such things, and over the weekend he got a thorough going over with no clues. Then last night when I went to the barn it all came clear- the swollen...

I'm trying to find a pedigree on Jake's dam. I believe her name is Cherry-Hill Miss Bobby, not sure of spelling. She's 10-11 years old. His sire is Platte's Bodacious Blue, and that's easy to find, but I can't find anything by googling his dam. Also- is there a time limit on registration? I...

Woot! Such an exciting weekend- Jake pony had his first real drive Saturday with me in the cart, he needed a little support from a header but did great. Yesterday he didn't need a header, he followed my voice commands beautifully, we drove circles and figure eights successfully, and even backed...

I'm putting this here instead of in the pony section in hopes of getting more answers and folks with experience. If I show my pony at a Pinto show (he will be registered with PtHA soon) can I show him in a plain English snaffle bridle? I have a nice fitting plain bridle and could braid him...

There's a pony staying for a little while in the barn. I'm not even sure if she's a mini or a Shetland, she looks more mini than Shetland but she's big for a mini. She's said to be about 8 years old, her teeth look appropriate for that age. She came in thin, with a big belly. She has a lot of...

Jake wore a harness for the first time last night. Nothing has been adjusted to actually fit him, and I deliberately left some straps flapping for debugging purposes. He didn't even flinch at any of it, including the crupper! He's such a good pony. I have to cut down my poles a little to fit...

Jake is the bay pinto, Paxton the silver bay. Paxton is steadily loosing weight, thankfully, and has been body clipped since this picture which brought out his dapples. Paxton still has an attitude issue, but it's so much better. Jake is just lovely, and has turned into such a sweet pony.

Disclaimer- I'm a total newbie to Shetland and Pinto shows, know nothing! I have a million probably dumb questions, so please educate me. I come from big horses/eventing/dressage and was a show groom for a 3-day barn. If I want to show in harness pleasure classes at a Shetland show or Pinto...

Hi- I'm brand new here, and new to the world of Shetlands. I've had horses much of my life, and in my quest for a driving pony have just added Jake to the family. Jake is still a youngster, and not broke so we'll be doing lots of training and learning. I'm waiting on his registration so don't...
