Jessica has been my main show horse since I got her in 2014. She’s taken me though 6 years of 4H and all 4 years of my high school equestrian team. She’s really done it all, and has the sweetest bomb proof attitude. I’ve won multiple championships and 1sts with her, and qualified for state all 4 years with her on my high school team. She helped me learn how to do in-hand events, and I owe most of my knowledge of driving to her as well. I’ve done so many things with her, from inhand horse relay to driving and even demonstrations for my high school. I’ve taken her everywhere and nothing has ever phased her. I haven’t been able to do many shows lately due to the pandemic, but I’ve been using her as a lesson horse to some kids who have wanted to learn showmanship and driving. When I first got her back in 2014, she came with her foal, Rebel. I owned Rebel up until about a year ago, when I sold her to a family friend. I taught everything to Rebel, and I still work with her today for driving.

This is my Second mini, Melody!


Registered Name: Flyin Gs Signature Melody
Barn name: Melody
Nickname: Baby, floof

Registries: AMHA, AMHR
Height: 31”
DOB: April 2020
Breed: Miniature horse
Color: Bay Tobiano (pos Overo)

Dam: Scott Creek Monarch Encore
Sire: abrias signature buckaroo

I got Melody on August 11, 2020 from Flyin G Farm. She was just a baby, and barely even halter broke. I’ve worked with many minis over the years, but I always wanted to get a mini baby of my own. I’ve taken her from being a shy baby to a very friendly and inquisitive yearling. Now she can do pretty much everything, and learns very quickly. She’s been exposed to lots of things, from kids to poles, and even very loud cars. My cow horse, Mazie absolutely loves her and Melody gets along great with Jessica. I plan to make her my main halter horse and all rounder, but for now I’m letting her grow and be a baby : ). I think she’ll also make a fantastic driving horse, and I can’t wait till she’s old enough! I might teach her how to lightly ground drive here soon, but we’ll have to see!

Your girls are lovely. What a great time you and Jessica have had together! I'm sure you'll make wonderful memories with Melody, too.

Have you considered coming and trying a Combined Driving event? I'd love to see more people come drive with us. I think you two would do great!

I have! I’ve always had an interest in it, but I never knew where to start! Where do you normally show at? I haven’t seen many Combined Driving Events in WA before 😲
 
Omg! You, Stripe13, and you dalvers63 are only 3 hours away from each other…. I just googled it lol lol… you 2 should totally meet up for a drive!!

I love Seattle! Have y’all had the donuts from the Pike Place Market?? “Be a winner have donuts for dinner” it’s right there in the market. Fresh hot off the grease donuts!! They are the absolute best!! ♥♥

I saw that!! I think we really should! I’ve unfortunately never been to Seattle (although I’ve driven through it quite a bit) but I’ve always wanted to go to Pike Place Market and try their donuts!
