Wow, congratulations to all of you, you are just great! I can add another 50 minutes for the team Teddy/Massai and 40 minutes for Moony

90 minutes for the team Massai and Teddy

Yes, welcome back Jeannie! :D I've some more hours: Tuesday 1 hour for Moony in the cart und on wednesday again 55 minutes (the same route, but a little bit faster ). With Teddy and Massai I drove the tandem yesterday, 50 minutes. I think there are 10 hours and 20 minutes left now! So keep...

Merry Christmas to all!! We will make it ;) I drove the team Massai and Teddy on saturday 2 hours and today full 3 hours (visiting my parents for celebrating christmas day)! So there are only 16 hours and 25 minutes left to reach our goal! I've a few free days now and I'm looking forward to...

Don't worry, it will be fine in the end Does Buckly already know the breeching? If not, it may be a good idea to really get him used to the breeching, until he doesn't take note about it. I always took my horses out to walks many times with the full harness including the breeching. On walks...

Seems accidents like that belongs to the driving I had some situations like you both describe, with all my horses before. Massai, as an example: he destroyed my first cart when he kicked and bucked against the shafts. It was my bad; I didn't desensitize him enough before hitching and I used a...

Oh sorry, I meant Massai, not Moony but Moony is close to be teamed in the next few weeks. I plan to hitch him with Teddy during the christmas holiday! Just hitched Moony yesterday for a short sled drive, 30 minutes, before the snow is melted.

Weekend drives: Saturday 90 minutes with Massai and Teddy, 40 minutes of ground driving for Moony Sunday 60 minutes sled driving for Moony, 70 minutes driving with the team Teddy/Moony

Oh no, poor Cappy get well soon for him! But I love your sled! I want to have one like this too. I only have a normal all purpose sled without shaft. This works too, but it's not specially comfortable... Now, we don't have enough snow for going sledding. I hitched Moony yesterday to the sled...

Wow, they look awesome!! :D What a great motivation! I've hitched on friday again, it was cold and dark and the routes where icy... We had to go slow despite of using horse boots with spikes. Massai and Teddy made a great job, 90 minutes for them. Drove Moony on the ground 45 minutes on...

Great idea, MajorClem! Count me in I hope to drive a lot on the weekends when it's not too cold. I started the driving december on friday evening with a 2 hours night drive (Teddy and Massai). We picked up some forage. I just love let the horses doing some reasonable jobs! Today, I hitched...

Give her time ;) I'm sure she will be back to normal soon. I think you're doing the right actions now. I cross my fingers that she's not in foal (and if she's in foal though, you will have a 4-in-hand ion a few years - always focus on the positive sides... ) Relating to the "softening issue"...

Wow, looks great, MC! :D I'm looking forward to see Candace and Clementine as a team ;) I think Clementine will cool down and get normal in short time. My horses always were "not themselves" for weeks after a move to another barn. Even my old gelding, he moved at the age of 28 to our new home...

last weekend: friday: 1 hour team driving with Massai and Teddy, and 30 minutes of ground driving for Moony sunday: 70 minutes driving with the team again

They actually prefer to be in the team, but single driving is also working great with both. Sometimes, Massai tries to bite his teammate, especially when he's cantering. I'm not sure if it's an invitation to play or if it's an angry manner. He use to show this behavior too when the teammate is...

Freezing outside, but I drove again this weekend! Friday 70 minutes with Teddy/Massai and 45 minutes ground driving for Moony Saturday 3 hours with the team Teddy/Massai (we visited my parents for lunch... 5 miles one way, so we did about 10 miles!) Sunday only a short drive with Teddy and...

Thanks MajorClem for catching up all the hours! Enjoy your stay at your family and I hope you have a lot of fun with the horses! I drove at the weekend, but weather was stormy and rainy... even had hail and snow. We were lucky to caught not the very badest times. saturday 60 minutes with the...

yesterday 90 minutes night drive with the team Teddy/Massai

Great! Looking forward to see Daisy and Charlie as a tandem ;) I use long traces for the front horse that are fixed at the carts singletree. And trace holders on the back horses breastcollar. But there are other possibilities, too. You can use a second singletree that is fixed on the back...

Full program on weekend despite of very mad november weather... Friday: 1 hour with the team Teddy/Massai Saturday: 1 hour tandem Teddy/Massai and 45 minutes for Moony again Sunday: 70 minutes for Teddy Thanks!
