Miniature Horse Racing

[dreaminmini]

This looks like a lot of fun. My hubby's friend sent him this link. The race was held on the racetrack's Extreme day where they held many different races, very long, very short, wrong way on the track and others. This particular race was new this year, I believe. It's the full lap of a 5/8 mile track. Hubby is already planning on entering next year.

That looks like a blast! I'd love to participate in something like that. I was surprised that many were cantering. I suppose the race was too casual for that to matter. What fun!

I don't drive (yet) but it looked to me like Summertime Luke had a very steady trot. WTG Luke!

Thanks for sharing!! That was awesome. I am surprised that a steady trot beat a canter though - and that the canter was allowed!

Thanks for sharing the link although last year was the first year Georgian Downs held a mini race. There has also been one at Hanover Race Track for the last 3 years. This year they split it into a and b, they had their a race in June and the b one is coming up in September.

It looks like loads of fun. Planning on going in it next year.

Thanks, Yvonne, I didn't know they held the mini race last year at Georgian but I did know about the Hanover races.

The "B" size race is coming up this month. We are thinking of entering Peek in the "A" race next year

I'm not sure what the rules were for Georgian but I believe at least for the Hanover races that they are not allowed to break stride. I guess tho that some of them got caught up in the excitement or didn't want to get left too far behind.

Thanks.

That would be good. But you should enter and race with us. I bet Munchie would like it!

They look cute, but for some reason I had a hard time watching them canter/trot their little hearts out. I'm sure they were conditioned for it. It does look fun!

That looks like an endurance race LOL. It is so darling, and looks like so much fun!
