Folks, I'm in HEAVEN! ? I picked up my new carts yesterday... and tested the marathon carriage yesterday in the evening and today early morning. IT'S AMAZING!!! Tested it on uneven paths with lots of chuckholes, but it doesn't matter. It's REALLY designed for trail driving (and fast driving ? )...

yesterday: 50 minutes for the team Massai/Teddy today: 60 minutes for the team Massai/Moony

It's too hot here! We have actually up to 95 and way too dry. We're wishful waiting for rain :(  The trees started to let fall their leaves due to the aridity. I was in Munich this weekend with a friend who was looking for a new mini and the horse people said they have had NO rain since april...

Friday: 70 minutes for the team Massai/Moony, 40 minutes ground driving for Teddy Sunday: 50 minutes for the team Moony/Massai (switched places for the first time!)

70 minutes for the team Massai/Teddy on tuesday. Thanks!

Great idea to take Cappy to the show! ? I had to renew my round pen this weekend by removing all the weeds grew on it the last months. After I removed the plants, I had to level it out and because the gate is too small for our lawn tractor, I hitched Teddy to the leveling tool. It was a hard...

I agree, 10 is a great age to start ? my oldest was 25 years old when I started him to drive.

Lot of works in the last few days :) Thursday: 30 minutes for Massai Friday: 60 minutes for Massai/Teddy Saturday: 90 minutes for Massai/Moony, 20 minutes of farm work for Teddy (does this count as ground driving?) Sunday: 50 minutes for Moony/Teddy The carriage manufacturer called me last...

Yesterdays drive: 60 minutes for the team Massai/Moony

Oh Marsha, I'm very sorry to hear about Buckly ? What kind of adventures has he had that your harness and cart is damaged... I wish I lived closer too. I think he would be great as a companion horse or be fixed by hitching in a team. Some horses are not able to work alone in the cart and I...

Hi there ? We enjoyed holidays in northern Europe and returned back to Switzerland last week... I picked up the horses at their holiday residence on tuesday. They enjoyed their time of doing nothing too ? and I introduced them to the training on thursday. They have all a lot of motivation, a few...

Thanks Marsha :) I did a last drive yesterday, 50 minutes for the team Massai/Moony. Today, I'll bring the three boys to their residence. Feeling a little bit bad about, because they will be not be worked the whole three weeks... but they'll have a large stable and pasture, and the person who's...

We were very busy with driving the last few days! I wanted to get the ponies work enough before they go to their holiday residence for the next three weeks... Yes, we will go on holiday for three weeks, we will depart on friday (oh my gosh, long time without horses, I hope I'll survive! :D)...

friday, june 8: 80 minutes for the team Massai/Moony saturday: 60 minutes for the team Massai/Moony again and finally sunday: 60 minutes for the Massai/Teddy

friday: 30 minutes for the team Massai/Teddy sunday: 60 minutes for Massai/Moony we had a horse agility competition on saturday, what great change to the usual thing I do with my horses :D they enjoyed it.

Thumbs up for your decision, Marsha! I think Buckly will turn into a nice driving horse, he just needs self-confidence. If you're always in fear that he's turning into a Rowdy-like, you're sending the wrong signals by your subconscious and you cannot stop this. So the only way to break out of...

You like to drive on trails, don't you? And you have two horses who can be hitched together as a team, so I vote for the marathon for future team driving. It's better for the horses back to drive with four-wheeled carts when you drive trails. And driving a team is always more fun than driving a...

I agree with Marsha and Cayuse. I leased a mini two years ago. 15 yo gelding and not worked. He was such a nice, lovely boy! But he was his own man and his beliefs in live was to rather hang around on the pasture than working... Then, we discovered he had a genetic disease called tracheal...

1@Marsha Cassada[/USER] He's doing great, he's such an awesome boy! ? When I drive him single or ground driving he has room for improvement because controlling him to follow correctly the line instructions is not perfect, but it improve from time to time. In the team, he's working perfectly and...

Weekend drivings:  friday: 80 minutes with the team Moony/Teddy saturday: 90 minutes with the team Massai/Teddy 50 minutes ground driving for Moony
