Hi LB, I am currently at the University of Illinois as a graduate veterinarian finishing up a residency in equine medicine and we have a couple of research projects starting that involve minis. I have some people that are interested in contributing samples but would deeply appreciate more! The...

Hi all, I wanted to share with everyone my last big show for at least the next year. Starting in June, I begin my last year in vet school--the clinical year. Obviously, there is no way I will be showing during clinics, so this is, temporarily, the last one for a while! We went Intermediate...

I know I haven't posted in a very long time... But, since I have the pictures ready and there isn't a whole lot to say, I figured I would share! This is my tandem, Fascination (wheeler), and Peekaboo (leader). We are gearing up for a CDE in May, so we went for a training day on Wednesday, to...

Hi all, This was in an email I received today. It is open to anyone who wishes to attend (this was a vet school specific email, but Dr. Higgins said anyone was certainly welcome!). I will be attending, and I emailed Dr. Higgins to check that space is available, and this is what she said...

Hi all, I know this is late notice, but there is a small competition in Wilton, CA next Saturday for driving minis. It sounds like it will be a LOT of fun, as well as a GOOD place to get your feet wet! If you are interested at all in CDE-type driving, you are welcome and encouraged to come...

The carriage driving season is starting to get in full swing here--these pictures/videos are from an Arena Driving Trial (ADT) two weeks ago, and we just came home from another Horse Driving Trial (HDT) yesterday. The Ram Tap CDE (Combined Driving Event) in Fresno is in less than two weeks, so...

Hi all, I haven't been posting much for a long time...but well, life takes over...and Leia answers all the questions I used to (I'm lazy--or is that busy?--now). I do get to read the forum pretty often, so I do keep up on all that is going on in people's lives and their new horses and foals...

Hi all, I know we have people from many places and walks of life, so I would like to see some of your views here. For a communications assignment, I am looking for people of different cultural backgrounds to tell me what they find offensive. What "words, phrases, and common forms of speech"...

For once I am actually on the ball about writing an event up and posting it with pictures! I never did write up Happs for here, though I wrote an article for CDW (Carriage Driving World). Oh well. In any case, this past weekend, my mom and I showed at the Henry Boyd CDE (combined driving...

Well, I am finally mostly unpacked and recovered from the Ram Tap Combined Driving Event. Leia (hobbyhorse23) came all the way down from WA to join me in competing at Ram Tap, which was way awesome! I also saw dangerranger (Eric) there as well, as a spectator. It was great to meet them both...

So I figured it was time to introduce my new mare...got in December, but just haven't found the time to post pics and stuff. Plus, today I got some new shoes to try on Fascination...we'll see how they work. Introducing....Tanglewoods PeekaBoo Streak! Bay pinto, 9 yr old mare, green broke to...

Entries OPEN on February 1st (and if entries are not postmarked then...you will not get in because of the limited number of entries allowed!!) Ram Tap Combined Driving Event is getting closer! It is April 20-22nd, and I would encourage anyone who is interested to at least come and...

Hi all, Well, Gabriel is driving...and doing quite well! As a sidenote, feel free to critique, discuss, and question these pictures....I don't mind and I am sure everyone would benefit. Gabriel is our 3 yr old 14.3-15 hh Draft cross (Paint is the other side, or so we heard). He started...

I know its been a while since I’ve posted…life is busy! But I did want to post about the Dr. Henry Boyd Memorial CDE (carriage driving event). I have tons and tons of pictures; I apologize in advance…but I did resize all of them! I don’t even have the pictures from Cones—they are not...

Well I am still going strong--been VERY busy but its been a lot of fun. Anyway, I am writing a paper on horse identification for one of my internships. Basically, I need to cover different ways of id'ing horses, their effectiveness, and methods of application. Also, if there are any new ways...

Since I know some of you still remember Oliver, I figured it would be fitting to post in honor of his memory. Oliver was my first miniature horse...a chestnut gelding with a blaze and 3 socks, 31" tall and full of it. He was the first horse I ever showed, both in hand and driving. I got him...

This is a rather odd topic for me to be posting, but I figured there would be some who would help us out on this. Ok, so I live in the dorms(co ed) and we are pretty much a good group of friends on my floor. Of course, being college students, there have been some pranks played on people. Some...

These are pictures from Christmas break....bear with me, there are a lot of them! But, I did downsize them to ~100 kb, so shouldn't upload slowly. Ok, ok I lied, some of them are from Thanksgiving break--you know, the ones that I lost...well, I found them(most, anyway). Julie is usually very...

I just put those two together to make posting easier, the weather had no effect on the new dogs, or the other way around. I haven't been on for a while, so haven't caught up on really anything. When I went home for winter break, I found some NASTY storms(all the stuff moving down from N CA)...

Hello all! I've been very busy, so I haven't been posting much(or reading, really). In any case, I went home for thanksgiving and had a blast! Drove four horses, played with all the others(and the dogs and Sandy), hung out with both sets of friends(school and horsey), ate food, slept(my bed...
