Oh that was a few sessions totaled up, if I ever walked that all at once my feet would be screaming!

30 in hand walking minutes for Cappy and 1.5 ground driving hours for Peanut.

I like the idea of moving the tassels to Billy's bridle. That way DD can travel with you in spirit. And add a new tassel, one for just Billy. If you do some work on the sulky, I hope you take some pics of it before and during the process and share them!

Aww geez Marsha, this makes me sad too! I remember so many pictures of DD with his cart and harness, I hope you decide to keep it. I remember getting my first harness from Big Dee's, is that where yours came from too? I still have mine and use it for ground driving. DD was a wonderful horse...

Oh that's really nice! You'll have fun with that! How is it to tow?

15 minutes for Cappy and same for Peanut. It was hot this morning and I was lazy. Found the mullen mouth that was Cappy's and tried that. Seems to be the best of the three bits for him right now. If I start driving him I'll have to sort out something different as he will lean on it. I know...

Deer flies are out here too, but not too bad. I ground drove Cappy 20 minutes, he was naughty. Saw the wild turkeys in the backyard and decided his old habit to sit and spin was a fun idea. I've been waiting for him to sneak that in 😁. He got over it. Found a plain half cheek snaffle and...

I'm not gonna touch that bit! Conway buckles :D ! I'll spend money on a new bit before I mess with those buckles!

The tails! :D

The Lameness Locator is interesting. I wish my vet had one. Did it take long to use?

15 minutes each ground driving Peanut and Cappy. Cappy was a little less crooked which was good. His mouth is very busy but I don't think it's teeth or discomfort as everytime he's had time of he gets all chewy and chompy. I might try to find a mullen mouth for him. I think I have one...

Peanut would jump over that snake trai! Snakes are the one thing that fluster him. I've been in the cart when one slithered in front of him 😄. I'm happy you are still taking Billy out, you know him well and the light exercise will keep him limber, he'll tell you if he's not happy. 20 minutes...

Ground drove Peanut 1 hour this week and hand walked dressage tests with Cappy for 45 minutes. I hope to ground drive Cappy soon. Not quite ready for a bit yet because of his sinus surgery and tooth extractions in April/May. I'd use a bitless bridle but he has no respect for that...

Oops wrong thread, sorry!

30 minutes ground driving Peanut. Someday I'll hitch him, lol. I get too involved with practicing his ground driving dressage tests for the online shows that I forget I'm supposed to DRIVE him 😁 ! With an actual cart 😄!

I never would've thought of that!

What a beautiful little man you have there, he is lucky to have you as his person in his geriatric years. I feel a little hesitant giving a Vet any ideas but I've had a bunch of old timers who I love/loved dearly so I'll tell you my thoughts and what helped my guys. I'll probably ramble, but...

35 minutes ground driving Peanut. Oatie had his shoes pulled so he's back in boots. Will try a short walk tomorrow with him. He was blessed with thin soles. Then foundered three years ago. He keeps my farrier busy trying to figure out the "perfect" set up. Oatie is very particular.

Nice little cart you have! Izzie is adorable too!

Aww, hope the chicken will be OK. Didn't know you could give them an anti inflammatory! Glad Billy's bloodwork is good, whenever my guys get bloodwork they are always slightly low in the red and white count too. The vet just shrugs, says it happens. We have bobcats in the area, they get...
