    Self-made Miniature Horse Pack Saddle

    Sorry, I know I've promised to make a tutorial and I haven't had time enough to do it yet... I'll deliver it soon with detailled informations and pictures. The lower sideboards are carrying maybe 25-35 percent of the whole weight, they are important for this type of saddle tree for the ideal...

    Spring arrived in central europe!! We had up to 74 degree on the weekend. And very sunny. My horses were all a bit tired and enjoyed laying flat on the sun. They had to work, but we took it easy and I did not hurry them up. I hitched my team Massai and Moony two times. A friend visited me on...

    Your Drive Day

    I hope you all enjoyed the easter days? I did! And drove a lot. We had bad weather on friday, saturday and sunday. But I drove my "new" team Massai and Moony every day, didn't care about the weather. Moony gets better every time I drive him! He's so great when I hitch and unhitch him, he's...

    Your Drive Day

    @Marsha: The first two days, there was no difference. But Teddy was MUCH better yesterday!!! I couldn't believe it He's now willing to trot and going up- and downhill was no problem. But I'm still very carefully with him. The injury he has normally needs 3-4 months of recovering (and it's only...

    Folks sometimes... do you have already flies and other insects that early? We don't have, not just yet. Teddy has his leech-treatment yesterday. It was very interesting to see these curious animals "at work". I made pictures (caution: it's a little bloody!)...

    I wouldn't give them away for no money of the world, too! They are part of the family Yes, the red one (the buggy?) is cool too... I thought about it, but the marathon fits better for our terrain and the big benefit is that my husband can drive with me. He preferres to stand on the back of...

    @Cayuse: Massai is not a team player too He always try to bite the team mates, but I think this is kind of playing. I've tried to use blinkers to avoid biting, but that makes him angry. So I have to accept this tic; usually the team mates strike back. When I drive correctly and focused, they...

    Your Drive Day

    Thanks a lot you two :D I think it's a big benefit that the horses know each other since many years... we bought the two big ones in 1999 and 2000. Massai came in 2005. My biggest dream is to drive all of the 5 horses together in an 5-hitch... not sure if this is possible. The time is running...

    My therapist reuses the leeches, but only on the same horse. She have to store the leeches one year before they are willing to bite again. Treatment will be next week! I have a photo from the drive on sunday it's a little bit blurred.... This is the most funny team I've EVER had :P But it...

    Looks great! I would like to have snow again too. This winter, we'd only two times some snow, and it doesn't last more than a few days But I think, spring is now arriving here, I like it too @Cayuse: yes, living leeches! You're right, they release something like an enzyme that helps to heal...

    Driving Hours 2018

    I drove my old team Massai/Domino on saturday for 1 hour and on sunday for 1 hour too (sunday it was a three-horse hitch with Prince, my sisters pony who is 36 years old... but I think I'll drive him too rarely, so I think it's better to count this drive as a team drive).

    @MC: I hope you get well soon! Oh, good to know Major didn't lose his mane. I knew stallions who had great, long and thick manes and after beeing gelded, it was only a poor mane left Maybe, there were other reasons for this. I hope Moony will keep his long hair. But if not, it's not the end of...

    Thanks Marsha The gelding operation was not "open" like it's usuable for younger stallions. They called it "coated operation" (don't know the english definition). They sutured the wounds and told me, the different to normal operations (where moving around afterwards is important), is that he...
