    I am looking for a solid rubber mouthpiece bit

    I am looking for a solid rubber (without metal in the core) mouthpiece bit in Miniature Horse sizes. I have tried all of the places that I can think of that I know carry Miniature Horse size tack; Star Lake, Ozark, Mini Express, Double TT, National Bridle, Schneiders, Chick's, etc. Does anyone...

    Who is going to the National Drive this year?

    I will be there at least one of the days on foot. I try to never miss it! I am about 90 miles south of the Kentucky Horse Park. I was hoping to finally be able to take a horse this year, but I doubt that any of my horses will be going well enough by then and I really need a new (different), more...

    Where are you located?? Let's get together for a drive!

    I am in London, Kentucky. I am not too terribly far from where Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia meet and I am about an hour south of Lexington. I do not have a horse going in the cart at the moment, but I hope to have one or two going (one for me and one to sell) in the next few weeks.

    Labelled and exploded view of driving harness parts and pieces

    I agree with Marsha C. This harness (you will notice that its design does NOT incorporate wrap straps) allows the shafts of my easy entry cart to "float" just a tad more than I am comfortable with so I often use both breeching and thimbles, but I use and adjust them in a manner that does not...

    Labelled and exploded view of driving/harness bridle parts and pieces

    I want to apologize for not doing what I said I would do, I did not forget what I promised and I do still intend to photogragh, label, and post a labelled, exploded harness. My mother had a stroke (she is on the mend and is going to make an almost full recovery) and that has consumed almost my...

    Obese gelding

    I am not going to add anything useful (ha!), just wanted to say, "Squee! He's cute!" I really like his color (especially with that mane).

    Photographs from the National Drive 2013

    Thank you for making them available, my husband and I really enjoyed looking at them as we didn't make it out to any of the hazards. I love the photographs of the black and white pinto; he (or she!) is lovely! My husband and I both thought that the bay (in your pictures there is a woman in a...

    Labelled and exploded view of driving/harness bridle parts and pieces

    A private message conversation I had recently with another member here at the Lil Beginnings forum prompted me to do this. I hope that someone finds it helpful and/or interesting. I would be happy to do this with an entire open tug gig driving harness at some point if anyone were interested in...

    Converting a blind/blinder bridle to an open bridle

    I'll contact some of these places and see what I can find. I appreciate your time and your comments! I was just hoping that someone was going to know of a place that had them that I missed during my online search. Everything has to turn into an "adventure", doesn't it!?

    Converting a blind/blinder bridle to an open bridle

    Thank you. I actually saw that at Chimacum (and I even commented about them in my first post), but they are made of a synthetic material, not leather.

    Can you tell me your experiences with gelding?

    If I had a colt or a stallion that I was concerned about I would go ahead and schedule the gelding procedure and have the vet sedate him (as if they were preparing to do the procedure) and then have the vet look at him again; the sedation can "relax" them so much that they "pop" out or maybe...

    Converting a blind/blinder bridle to an open bridle

    The in-hand bridle is a fantastic idea! ...but, I was only able to find them in a larger Shetland Pony or B-size. Poo! Mine are all in the 30"-32" range (so that kind of makes them "medium" A-size?)

    Converting a blind/blinder bridle to an open bridle

    Because I would rather not "just buy a headstall" when all I need is a pair of cheek pieces, which, theoretically, should also cost a lot less than buying a headstall or an entire driving bridle! It's not that money is the issue, it's just that I already have so much horse stuff (show stuff...

    overcheck bits

    A tight(er) overcheck might help hold a horse's head higher (artificially and temporarily), but I would think that it would only be able to help hold its head higher "out" and not higher "up" (or "tucked", which is probably the look you are going for, yes?)? To work on a higher headset, your...

    Converting a blind/blinder bridle to an open bridle

    Do any of you know where I might find (small, A-size) "open (bridle) cheek pieces" or cheek pieces without permanently attached (sewn on) blinders? I want to "convert" my blind/blinder bridle (that has permanently attached blinders) to an "open" bridle? I (feel like I) have looked everywhere...

    Photographs from the National Drive 2013

    Your Facebook photographs are private, so it will not allow anyone that is not on your Facebook friend list to look at them. I sent you a friend request as I would love to expand my "Mini circle" (ha!). I do not know many Miniature Horse people (especially not many people interested in them as...

    Photographs from the National Drive 2013

    I would love to know if those of you that participated/brought a horse got a better reason for the cancellation of the parade than "too many complications"? I would be tickled if any of you wanted to identify yourselves in the photographs! You can highlight and copy the link next to IMG (to...

    Photographs from the National Drive 2013

    These photographs are more of a "behind the scenes" look at this year's National Drive as I did not get many decent photographs of completed turnouts. I was going to plant myself at this year's parade stop (where someone with a microphone and an amplifier stops drivers along a predetermined...

    Traces...tight or loose?

    Love, love, love your comments (quoted below) and I agree. The more Miniature Horse breed/registry shows, videos, photographs, and discussions like this that I see the more I am turned off and I truly hate that as the Miniature Horse breed/registry show scene is one of the main reasons that I...
