    Your Drive Day

    Always keep looking, Marsha The last two we have found have been very lucky finds that were just a result of windowshopping. Dakota has the mind of an old soul and Pebbles loves her job. Your little driver is out there, just keep looking! It sounds like you found a lovely home for Rowdy, I...

    Your Drive Day

    I definitely want a safer way to rig the horse to the cart, a better quick release system, something. I'm very picky about who I pony with the cart, let alone tie to it. Pebbles is very "I want to drive and you're not driving me, so I'll just pout with my crabby mare face and act like I'm super...

    ^ Love it! Dakota got a little bit of work today, some lunging (mostly focused on direction changes) Excuse his horrid clip lol. Given the temperatures aren't sure what they want to do, I just did the minimal clip. (Notice Remi just left of the tree in the corner)

    Your Drive Day

    Sometimes it's the most trivial things they'd never look twice at! CDE's look like so much fun... Took Coal, Sierra and Pebbles out for a spin again today. Pebbles pouted the entire drive and acted like "dead horse walking" when in tow with the cart. Definitely have to get her a harness since...

    Your Drive Day

    That was my thought. I giggled because I was like "Ok, bets are on!" I told my Mom she'll need to drive by "honking", not really to prove a point, but I DO want to know what she'd do in a situation that someone honked quite aggressively. Best thing we can do is expose them and as you said...

    Your Drive Day

    Love the picture, Marsha! What a lovely trail! I am envious of that shiny coat! Was a blast considering I shared my video via FB with a Miniature Horse group and was reprimanded for basically being "dangerous" if someone honked at me. I responded I had a firm grasp on the reins if something...

    Your Drive Day

    Hubby got to drive his new mare (That he found and asked me to go pick up for him lmbo, pending my approval) She is an awesome little girl. 12 y/o double registered who is essentially green broke to drive, but pretty savvy and loves her job. The lady I bought her from was absolutely wonderful...

    I thought since some of us like to share and not all of us are comfortable posting a thread for a lone picture... I thought it would be a good idea to create a thread for "Everything goes" in regards to pictures or videos. Share your latest achievement, experience or just share the love of your...

    Boy she's getting wide! Fingers crossed

    Your Drive Day

    Thank you, me too... I'm impatiently waiting for the day the doctor says I can start lifting things. The plate and screws gave me my mobility back, but I still can't physically do anything with the arm. Between a busted up ankle and a broken arm, I think I'll take the broken arm having had both...

    Giving them a mild workout when they fuss over something is a great method to let them "think" they're winning ;) I have a hard to load gelding, but at the end of a trail he walks right on... I have to finish clipping Remi, poor guy is half clipped as I was dense and decided not to wash him...

    Someone close the potato chip bag!!

    Thank you both! I have never been gifted a horse before and it was so moving for them to do it and so special... As you said, it's awful hard to keep that bag closed when a horse like him comes buy. I absolutely adore this little guy and he's been great. As awesome of a Mr. Studly he has been...

    When to add the blinkers

    A lot of great advice has already been given, but I'll chip in too Coal is driven almost 100% of the time without blinkers, but according to his previous owner if he has blinkers on he will throw himself into the cart. Apparently he was an amish pulling pony that was overburdened so he was...

    Your Drive Day

    I arguably threw a lot at "Dakota" today for his first day of interaction... However, his incredible knack for learning allowed it. I started by introducing some yielding, desensitizing and then tossing the harness on for "giggles." I mean, after all, that'll be his main job. He flinched as I...

    Areally we getting close

    We went through this with our mare. We bought her supposedly bred, bloodwork said no, but she was clearly pregnant and an ultrasound later confirmed it. She wasn't a maiden mare (two foals that we know of and red bagged her last one), but she went well beyond her due date. Never waxed up and...

    Someone close the potato chip bag!!

    He still is a stallion at this time Thankfully he fit in pretty well with Remi, it's cute really. Remi acts a little big for those little hooves ;) I threw a couple at my Mom along the lines of "Cody, Dakota, Kodiak." My Mom & Dad both said they liked Dakota and I could always call him "Koda...

    Someone close the potato chip bag!!

    ^^ Thank you! I am incredibly blessed with such supportive family that I'm at a loss at times. My Mom has an incredible heart (they both do really) but she's just incredible. We got in late last night so no pictures. This was from this afternoon with Remi, who has enjoyed someone a bit more his...
