I give the voice command walk and tap him on the butt with the whip if that doesn't get it, but I also have a no fail way of making him go forward and that is to crack the whip on the ground outside the cart and that gets his attention and moving forward without hurting...

    Drivin' Thru 2022

    There are two full size horses in the pasture next door temporarily and our horses have been out there grazing next to them a couple of times. The biggies ran and hid in the barn the first time I drove around our back pasture and today they came out to the fence when we drove back there and...

They all go out to pasture together because there is plenty of room for them to get away from her, but...

    I ordered my cart!

    The C springs with the motorcycle tires are a comfortable ride and the cart is light weight. I think you will like it.

    Your Drive Day

    Hi Charlottein- Thank you for the nice comment. I have a real bad lower back. I was told to get a wedge for my seat that helps you to sit up straight and it really does help. I purchased a 3" one from either Driving Essentials or IVC. Can't remember which place. It strapped well to my other...
