Lily is adorable and yes big! My friend's new foal looks teeny tiny in comparison.

She seems really interested and smart! Sweet seeing you have fun with your new cutie. Looking forward to seeing her in her halter.

Here also is a link to her blog where you can search everything about harnessing and hitching your pony. https://www.idriveponies.com/blog

Congratulations and welcome! If there isn't anyone in your area that can physically guide you then the next best thing is to harness your horse and hitch him and post a photo. People here will give you answer your questions and give you suggestions on what they can see from the photos. Also...

I always tie when I am at home. They are so used to it they just fall asleep and I have to wake them up to get started! I use a grooming collar on Rocko and just leave it on so easy to clip to when we are done.

The larger the mini for me the better. Especially at the walk, I prefer Annie's long stride. Plus she is just stronger than Rocko because of her build and she can take a passenger with ease. Although I am hopelessly in love with Rocko, but he is a Mr. Chill too. My friend has an A size mini...

I liked the look of that cart but yes, I made the right call! I think because the horse and cart were bigger it felt solid and less likely to tip. I have volunteered at quite a few CDEs and it's the minis I've seen tip, but the full size horses do hit posts and things in the obstacles. Last...

Today I did a short drive with Rocko because I went to the ranch where my friend works to see a new pony she has in training. A big welsh pony so twice Annie's size and the owner was there and let me drive her! I have only ever driven minis and this was a very strong forward pony which was...

A few pictures I took yesterday of some of the fun obstacles at the horse park. They have 8 permanant obstacles which you can drive anytime which is nice.

Looks like a lot of fun Kelly!!!!! Looking forward to the video. I would add one more thing to the list. I know it's not cool, but wear a helmet. It just takes a second for things to go south in a new situation. A mini spooked at the HDT this weekend and bolted and ended up flipping the...

Excited for you! Looking forward to seeing the baby. Mama is beautiful. My friend's mini just foaled and I'm going to see it tomorrow. I've only ever seen mini horse weanlings in person. This will be the first time I've seen a mini foal besides in photos.

At training level they don't actually have to go through the water and can skirt around the edges and only have to do 3 of the gates in each hazard so at that level some go in the water and some don't. My friend took a video but it won't load. 😬

They all go through the bridges on the marathon even full size horses 4 in hand. I have volunteered at the HDTs and CDEs and once I was stationed here. You come through the bridge to the water hazzard where I was stationed. Some horses balk at the bridge and some at the water. I have seen a...

Very sad to hear this news. I admire you for taking on a mission to help this guy. You did a good thing.

We went camping with Rocko and Annie at a horse park. There was a Spring Fling event for the Northern California miniature horse club on Saturday so we went on Friday and drove around having the whole place to ourselves except one other horse. Then on Saturday there were 19 minis and we did a...

Cayuse, he looks great standing so nicely! ❤

That's hilarious! 🤣 Hopefully it will last longer than the straw hat I left hanging on the fence!
