@Walt's Fault stay safe and take care of each other! It's certainly a passion cause that you're helping so many souls that depend on generosity of others. How incredibly fortunate that you've been able to find so many good homes!

Haven't seen you on posting for a while, hope all is well and your pony is recovering well. You guys have certainly been through the ringer!

Ah, it must be fall. The time of year when so many posts of "does my mare look pregnant??" appear. Firstly, thank you for giving a home to this darling little girl. And you're right, you never know until you know about exposure to a stud. Hopefully your test can give you some peace of mind...

She doesn't look far into pregnancy, if she is pregnant, to me. A blood test should help determine if she is in foal but only time will tell for sure. Thank you for giving a home to that little darling.

I understand the quantity in the feed was sufficient to kill a cow, so a major level regardless. For horses, doesn't it cause cardiac lesions? I thought I'd read that years and years ago. Regardless, quite a tragedy. I'm glad to see the feed company stepping up and being accountable.

@chandab do you know if the toxin is transferrable? Or are scavengers not likely to be effected by feeding off the carcasses?

Donkeys are weird! So Falcor's having a little time off. Not for any purpose but just that he's done really well this season and I want to focus on Phillippe again for a bit and get my 2-year-old into some work before it snows next month... Phillippe came out for a road drive yesterday. We...

Very glad you're able to be back @MajorClementine !! Hopefully you've had a lot of fun pony time while you were locked out. Technology... Phillippe drove for 1 hour and 15 minutes yesterday! He's way more fit than I thought he was!

Some pictures from the derby.

Welcome! How exciting, I hope you have a wonderful adventure with your littles.

I use those shackles for my carts! They're fantastic.

@BSharpRanch Thank you for the thought. Patty's is not far from where I am actually, but I don't personally care for her construction. I have seen several of her harnesses and they're just not for me. Her husband's vehicle construction; however, is pretty good quality, although heavy... I'll...

Well, our active horse season has come to an end. Shows and clinics and practice days are wound down for the year. We finished with assisting teaching a clinic yesterday for green/ground driving hitches. 2 donkeys plus Phillippe, a bunch of minis and Falcor participated. Each had their own...

Saturday Phillippe and Falcor were out for 45 minute each. Sunday they drove for 3 hours total each.

Thanks Abby P! Your set up is similar to what Pontus Houghson uses in his viral internet videos. I'm not sure how I'm going to set it up but your thought of not running up on them while slowing down makes me think poles and even hold backs might be valid to have on; however, I'm not sure. I'll...

Oh that's a good question! Minis seem to have their own set of colours that they come up with, compared to big horses, don't they?

My daughter is having this thought of skijoring in the winter. I know it would be fantastic exercise, great for core strength, and lord knows we have enough winter here in Alberta, Canada for it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Our littles are well broke to drive, we have all the...

Thank you! That's so kind of you to say. It's very important to me to learn who each of my individuals are. Not all of us get along but I try to get them each what they need. I think the part that makes me super proud is the part where I can hand Falcor to other drivers, competent horse...

Thank you for cheering us on!!!

Falcor made it through his first CDE derby! What a huge growth from him between his first 2 rounds. I'm so proud of him. And now very excited for next year's adventures! Ali and Jasmine did great all weekend. Their first time trying Prelim and did everything cleanly. I think they were both...
