70 minutes for the team Massai/Moony. Teddy was treated by the dentist on monday and it still seems he feels pain when he eats hay. The vet gave me medication for him and assured he will feel better in a few days. Teddy will have a rest until he's better.

Thanks for sharing! We have a heatwave this year in Europe, so I resigned to transport the horses if it's not necessary. We would like to go swimming with them anywhere, but I'm not sure if the transport is unreasonable. I think it's too risky at the moment.  I train the horses as usual, but...

1@Marsha Cassada[/USER] Get well soon for DD!  45 minutes for Moony yesterday. 

On saturday, we visited a woman in Germany who's driving long distance races with her shetland (35" tall draft type). Their longest distance on one day was 55 miles. The average pace is about 6,2 mph. The summary of the miles the pony made on competitions will reach 620 miles (1000 km) on their...

Yes, I use butterfly bits. I learned that they're less wiggly in the horses mouth than snaffle bits. Sometimes, they like more the snaffle bits and sometimes the butterfly bits. But I think both (Moony and Teddy) have had problems with any bits before I get them. The former owner drove Teddy...

I forgot to log our mondays drive: 50 minutes with my new favorite team Massai/Moony/Teddy :D

1@Cayuse[/USER] Great way to hitch a horse, I think this is a correct as to lead the horse to shaft by hand, but it's more "advanced" than leading the horse on its head. ? I will try this next time when I hitch! 1@MajorClementine[/USER] There are two things my horses learn when I hitch/unhitch...

We have problems with the dryness too and high forest fire danger in most regions of our country too. There is a fire prevention all over and until now, there were actually no fires. But our pastures are very dry and the forest is dry and colourful like in september or october. It's still very...

Not the best picture, but the best crowd of horses ❤️ They are doing great! I hitched all three together one day and it was awesome, more than I expected! ? Hope I can make photos when we drive the next time.

 1@Marsha Cassada[/USER] The boys LOVE the new carriage, I'm sure! ? It's running much easier than any cart I've had before. And very quiet! We drove on uneven ground and they pulled the cart like it was on a paved road. On wednesday, I drove Massai and Moony with the cart and allowed them to go...
