    Van conversion for mini's

    I have a Ram Promaster City cargo van. I made a cargo net that is secured to the anchor points near the sliding side door. I put a rubber mat in back, pour a 32 oz cup of PDZ approximately where the horses will pee, then top with large flake shavings. The boys easily jump in and out via the...

    Weird Question~ Dog vs Mini

    Large breed dogs have a very short life span, 10-12 years, compared to 20-30+ years for a mini. So their productive time would be pretty short just a few years, compared to a couple decades with a mini. However, due to their size they tend to have joint issues, especially doing something like...

    Weird Question~ Dog vs Mini

    Challenges at the horse show

    Challenges at the horse show

    We went to our first horse show in a few years. My love is driving my pair in driven obstacle as I really love the challenge. It took me a few years of showing before I had the respect of the officials. Well, taking those couple years off dropped it back down again. They were very certain...

    Bute Toxicity vs Botulism

    While I haven't personaly delt with either issue, I have a friend that went through botulism with her herd. The thing I remember the most was the horses lose control of their tongue first, making it nearly impossible to eat or drink. She taught her horses to show her their tongues multiple...

    Too Many To Drive

    You can always drive a six up! Fun, challenging and about half the time to drive them each individually!

    Contraption

    We can adjust the balance by moving the seat forward or backwards. The saddle is wide because most of the draft is with the saddle, a small amount on the breast collar. The saddle also serves as the breaks and reverse instead of breaching. There is very little weight on the horses backs...
