Oh what a neat old piece of history!!! Sounds like a delightful day!

Ali drove Jasmine for 1.5 hours on Saturday and 1.25 hours Sunday. I drove Falcor for 1 hour Saturday and Sunday at the derby. Our ponies did so good! Ali won a junior driver championship (only junior driver there...) as well as a 5th place overall in Prelim for the weekend. I was successful...

Well... we made it! Our first CDE derby is done and in the books. I'm so happy with my pony. He tried his little heart out and was so brave! Saturday started with dressage. He warmed up well, seemed really relaxed as our round was into the afternoon, he'd had plenty of time to just chill and...

Falcor and Jasmine out again last night for an hour each.

Last night, Falcor went out with another new (to him) driver! My good friend came over to take the lines. She has a pony, same size, very different build, who has recently come back into her life. Her pony was once broke to drive and ride, but it's been several years and he seems to have gotten...

Some big milestones have nothing to do with competition. At the beginning of the year, I felt really overwhelmed with Falcor. I wasn't sure how long it was going to take to get him to relax and be comfortable driving outside of walls, or if he'd ever get there. But with methodical training...

Sunday we had a practice day at a new venue a whopping 12 minutes' drive away from our farm. We had 6 hitches registered, but 9 showed up as well as a few more club members to check out the grounds. It's an eventing facility, but loads of space, up hills, down banks, a nice, big water obstacle...

Falcor and Jasmine were out for an hour and a half driving on Sunday, September 1.

Hehe what a little cutie pie!! Congratulations!

They're really interesting, I love the painted faces. I have so many questions. Are the gourds dry? Will they spoil? How long do they last?

Welcome from Alberta, Canada! It's amusing that your last name (or handle) is Hacker! I'm assuming that's in reference to riding. Not computer hacking accounts and profiles. What have you got for tiny ponies??

Well said ladies!!!

Friday August 30 Falcor and Phillippe were out for an hour each.

I've been on "vacation" this week as my daughter started grade 10 today. It was nice to have some time with her before she went back to school. Sunday, we went with a group driving at the grounds where they host CDEs. The weekend prior they'd had one, but I'd been running my own horse show...

Sunday the 25th, Falcor was out for about 1.5 hours. Phillippe did about 1 hour. Last night I had Phillippe out for 45 minutes.

Scratches, or Mud Fever, is a terrible thing. There's 2 trains of thought on it. 1. It's a fungus that lives naturally in the earth, like thrush. You can treat it with zinc ointment, antifungal, etc. 2. It's a toxic reaction to alsike clover that tends to erupt through the white skin on the...

As @MaryFlora said, it's really going to depend on what kind of driving you want to do. If it's strictly team and just for fun, you can look at a variety of vehicles, whereas you'll want something more specific if you want to do CDE with a single animal. What is important, is balance on a...

Greetings and welcome from Alberta, Canada. We're all looking forward to pictures of your little family members. How exciting!

Greetings and welcome from Alberta, Canada! How exciting for you. I had no idea I'd enjoy the minis as much as I do. Coming from a dressage and Arab sport-horse riding background, the most enjoyment with my horses these days is driving my mini donkey!

Cuties!!!
