It's easy for a mini to do 15 or 20 miles a day IF they are in good shape :) Meanwhile, my boys are laughing about distances under 10 miles. I met a driver last year who's driving endurance races with her mini up to almost 60 miles a day! Never undervalue a mini! :D @MindySchroder thanks, Mindy...

Crazy weather... It's now too warm - and sunny. I love this! But in the forest, we have still BIG ice plates that makes impossible to drive. I've tried it on friday and saturday, but it was dangeraus, even with spikes on the horse boots! I'm VERY looking forward to springtime now. Massai...

Weather is amazing right now, but the roads are still icy. I tried to drive on the weekend. 2/15: 50 minutes for Moony, 20 minutes for Teddy 2/16: 1 hour for Teddy/Moony

Thanks for sharing your experience about the boots in your blog, Mindy! :) I am currently using the EB Minis and the Equine Fusion Active, and gave a try to the Cavallo CLB (not successful), I agree with all of your points. I think the Active is actually the best boot on the market for minis...

One day, I would like to have such a cool harness too... IF they would ship to Europe... :( We have a very messy weather situation that makes almost impossible to drive at the moment. There was a lot of snow that came very fast - it was possible to drive the sled once. But the other day...

The bells and the medal arrived on saturday - thank you again so much for that! :D I'm very pleased about it. Massai proudly shows his medal and the gremlin bells are now on his halter. We just LOVE them!!!

Thanks Marsha :) I enjoyed holiday without being on the computer, then we were overwhelmed with work on the company and my best friend was on surgery, so I helped her with her horses. I have two horses more to train right now, which I work twice a week. It's challenging to manage all, but I...

Oh, this sounds great. I was thinking about buying Comfy Fit harnesses, they seem to be only harnesses in that quality on the market (worldwide) that comes in miniature horse sizes. How about the workmanship, are they as durable as leather harnesses?

Amazing to see this totals, congrats to all members! Hopefully you all can continue (or start again) driving in 2019. Since you always have to send my price overseas (THANKS a lot at this point!!!), I'll sponsor a price for the winner or 2nd place this year. Happy driving to everyone!

Don't ask about the harnesses :rolleyes: I have definitely too much. 4-5 sets of single driving harness and 3 sets of pair driving harnesses... for 5 horses, and two of them are (almost) retired. I'm feeling like take care of the leather all winter long. My next harness will be a non-leather one...

Hi there! Sorry about being inactive for the last few weeks. I just had a lot of work to do. I drove my horses as much as possible, but only short drives due to the cold weather... No worries; I worked them on the ground every day or took them out for walks to keep them in shape. I logged my...

I've been driven only a few times the last two weeks... not much time and vey bad weather with a thunderstorm. And I cleaned and took care of the harnesses and marathon cart, so I wasn't able to drive for some days. dec 14: 40 minutes with Teddy dec 15: 60 minutes for Massai and 40 minutes for...

Thanks, Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all too! @MajorClementine no, but we drove sleigh in various combinations. Hoping to drive with a 3-in-hand cart with sled skids IF we have any snow this season. Actually, there's no snow and it's way too warm here :( mud, mud and more mud :rolleyes:

We had very bad weather here in Europe :confused: all day very rainy, cold and finally tons of mud on the roads. Santa (who's coming on december 6 in our country) and his donkey were clumping through the mud in the forest instead of snow. Last weekend, we had stormy winds that destroyed some...

I think it's the november blues all around... :( I'm less motivated too to drive, I do very short drives because it's too cold to sit for a long time on the cart. But I take the boys out for walks and running EVERY day and we love it :D nothing better than a run with them before I go the office ;)

YES, he does great! :D He's a rocket!!! We are doing about 4 miles in a half an hour, lots of fun for us... And the scary moments are less and less, he doesn't runaway anymore when he's frightened. The driving license course finally gave me so much more safety and self-confidence. It's amazing...
