    Orchestra at Horse Show!

    Can you imagine showing your mini in an event like this?!! It's a long clip so you may want to start at time stamp 8:05.

    Integrity Horse Feed

    Anyone ever used Integrity Horse Feed by Star Milling? Asking because the guy that put in the new fencing for the cattle behind me told me that he is also working with this company now and they are thinking of possibly opening a feed store in our town. He dropped me off a bag to try after I...

    Annie got out!

    I am trying not to freak out, but this morning Annie was out on the only area of green grass I have. The person who gave her to me said she had a slight episode of founder. Maybe she meant laminitis. Anyway I have always introduced her to green grass very slowly starting with 10 minutes at a...

    Repurposed Jolly Ball

    My horses had zero intrest in the Jolly Ball laying in their paddock for 2 years. I saw that the manufacturer came out with a new hanging ball you stuff with hay so I got the idea to cut ours up with a jigsaw using a finish blade so it is not sharp. Need to cut one more hole, but wanted to try...

    Trying new bit

    Hey Drivers, I mentioned in the Your Drive Day thread that I was trying a french link bit on Rocko and it seemed to be going really well. This morning while cleaning his feet before hitching he reached back and nipped me good. He has never done that before and when I got to the front foot on...

    Grazing and Frost

    I live in a warm climate but we do get the occasional frost. I had always heard not to let my horses graze when it has frosted (high sugar) so I don't turn them out on those days. But will have a morning freeze for the next 4 days. Does that mean no turnout at all? Will sugar still be high...

    Pequea Pleasure Cart

    Hey All, Do any of you have a Pequea cart? I waited all that time and spent all that money for the Aerocrown and I can't say I am really happy with it. I could really use some advice. Being on the west coast there is no where to try out a cart. I did a test drive with a horse once at a show...

    My Farrier

    It stopped raining this afternoon so my husband and I went on a 5 mile walk. The farrier was supposed to come so I left $105. in the tack room for him for the 3 minis in case I didn't get back in time. He charges $35.00 per mini (while the other farriers around here charge $50.00, the same as...

    Mushrooms

    Hey All, We had a lot of fog and then rainy days. So much that there are several varieties of mushrooms growing all over my pastures. I have never had this before since we have been in a drought for so many years. I have no idea which ones are toxic or harmless. When I lived in the mountains I...

    Comfy Fit in Dishwasher

    Has anyone with a Comfy Fit Harness actually cleaned theirs by putting it in the dishwasher? I have seen posts where people talk about it as an option and it is also stated as a method for cleaning on Chimicum's website. What I want to know is if anyone has done it and what the results were...

    Posting Video Help Needed

    In my gallery on my phone I have photos and videos. When I select upload video it gives you a choice of camera or files. When I chose files, only the photos are there and they are not in any other selection either. I have tried both upload files and upload videos. What step am I missing?

    Conditioning Cart Seat

    Hey all, I sold one of my three carts to the newest mini driver convert. I washed it today and the vinyl seat looks a little dull. What do you use for conditioning? I know not to use Armoral because I knew a guy that did that and he slid all over the place! Any suggestions? I don't want the...

    Equine Dentist or Vet

    Hey all, curious who you use to do your horses teeth? When I first got started with horses someone told me; "you should always use an equine dentist." So that is what I have been doing all these years. (I have had an equine dentist who is also a vet, but does only teeth do a bad job before.)...

    Fusion boots - Active or Trekking?

    Hey All, Now that I am driving Rocko more on hard pavement his feet are wearing and chipping more. I had the farrier out for him today and he agreed it would be a good idea to get him some boots. I know I want to get the Equine Fusion, but now they have added the Trekking model so not sure...

    Shaft Width

    Wondering about proper shaft width. Rocko's are about an inch and a half from his sides. Annie's are less than that as she is only getting driven once a week and has gained a little weight. Most articles only talk about the proper shaft lengths.

    Round Pen / Cats

    I know there are lots of cat people on here so I am hoping to get some advice. My round pen has become a giant kitty litter box for the new neighbor's cats. It's like a big sand box I guess and these are all outdoor cats. They don't have a barn so sometimes they come over here to shelter too...

    Shows back to normal?

    Just curious if shows are back to normal in your areas. We have two horse parks that hold driving events. One of them has gone back to business as usual and the turnout has been huge. The other venue held a CDE but no spectators were allowed. So still some restrictions here.

    Manure Question

    I didn't want to post a photo so I'll try and give a description. Rocko has always had clumping manure since I got him. In other words, fecal balls that are for the most part stuck together. Not like cow patties but like an oversize cluster of grapes. Seems like more moisture. I'm asking...

    Aerocrown Cart Question

    I need some help! If you own and Aerocrown cart can you tell me what size your horse is and what size wheels you ordered? I placed an order back in December for a cart and at the time I was asked what size my mini was and if I wanted to upgrade the wheels to the larger size which is 22", which...
