Here is the second of our driving minis. The other two are still so green that we don't even try to get photos.

Here are some of mine over the years, The black pinto is the one I drove this year, she will be out nxt year along with my cremello. Only trouble is, my cremello and pinto are in the same size class and both are mares.

Here's Appy and I at the AMHA worlds....

He made the cut into the top 20 horses in 4 out of 5 classes (40+ to 60+ in each class) - not bad for his first World show!

Here is a couple of pictures of my boy C Chief Proud Eagle

. These pictures were of our first time starting up driving in spring after a long winter break. So the pictures do not do him justice at all. But they are the only ones I have. He is so fun we go out on the trails around my house and he just wants to go for ever!

Also please excuse the breaching I thought I had fixed it before I got in the cart. But I noticed that I hadn't when my brother was taking these pictures.

So it was corrected.

Please don't look at me in my old sweats I wasn't expecting my brother to take pictures.

WOW! There are some REALLY nice horse on here!

I am in my third year of driving. My 33" gelding, Janals Maximillion, is 8 yrs old and was very green when I got him. He has turned into a solid driving horse and a great all around horse for me showing locally and on the Pinto Circuit in the Northwest.

First year driving. My one and only HDT in Wilderville, OR.

My second year driving. I did local shows and started showing Pinto.

This year showing locally and Pinto. Right now he stands 3rd in the Nation in Pinto Pleasure Driving.

Here's our boy at Nationals this year.

I just found this forum today, how long's it been here???

This is CLRs Crusin. He is only 3 and we absolutely love this boy.

He is the sweetest horse ever, but when you get in the cart he is ready to go do his job!!!

This is his win picture after the Pleasure Driving Stakes, Over class

Great pics everyone!

Stef...where did you get that purple harness??? I like it!!!

 

[Stef]

My Mom bought the purple harness on ebay. That was my christmas present two years ago.

Erick competed successfully in breed shows, Pleasure shows and CDEs in 2009. Next year I hope to travel to the US for breed shows and the Ohio CDE.

Wow he's gorgeous. I am doing a power point on driving for my technology class, would you mind if I used a few of his pictures?

This is my mare , a friend driving her in dressage

We show in ADS recognized events. We have shown open and breed shows in the past. After seeing an article in the farm paper, we went to watch and were enchanted! We asked how much it was to compete, because I "knew" it HAD to be a fortune! I was surprised when she said it was $10 a class! From then on, it was a dream of mine to show, and we have done so since 2000. This year, I FINALLY won the VSE division (my husband said it helps to show the same horse more than one year

). This is the 3rd year that I have been showing Fantasy Corral's Magic Galaxy. He is a very structural gelding, a nice round mover, and a big powerhouse.

Just stumbled upon the driving forum... How long has it been here?? I think its a great idea! And great topic, Mary!
Here are a few of my "kids".... Absolutely love driving!

What kind of harness do you use? They look stunning, I am starting a harness horse soon so will be looking for a good quality show harness

 

[little lady]

I love this driving section!!!!!!

The pictures are awesome! I bought my first mini this August and I am wanting to break her to cart. Looking at all these spectacular pictures has me so excited about driving.

Hi!

All of the horses in my pictures are wearing Hunt harnesses. Believe it or not, some of those harnesses are 15-20 years old. They cost a pretty penny(we bought some of ours used) but are worth every cent. We have not had to buy one in 10 years, so I have no idea what they are going for now. They are sturdy, elegant and comfortable for the horses. We have tried just about every miniature harness there is and they are my favorite harnesses by far.

This is me with Magic ( Sun Country LTD Cajun Magic Man ) . He is a 3 yr old 36 " gelding. Magic is still at the trainers but doing really well and should be home by Christmas. I hope to compete in CDEs , driving trials and local breed shows with him. The cart is a Pacific Smart cart. Harness is from Country Carriage USA
