I like the idea of the hanging tags. Sundance Kid 35 mins I just brought home my new team pole for my Mullet buggy. Hopefully we can start logging some pairs hours!

The heat wave finally crashed and I was able to get a drive in. Keeping up with the “biggies” helps get him fit. Butch Cassidy 55 mins

I have a Silver Penney wooden wheel, pleasure cart. It rides great with the elliptical springs. I have Trail driven, competed CDE, and done some pleasure shows with it. Not quite as dressy as the Meadowbrook, but only weighs 107 lbs. it has held up beautifully for many (15+) years, needs to be...

We were driving along the top of a levee. The path was wide enough for a tractor, the sides drop down a steep slope on each side. At the bottom is water. Butch spooked at a pump ahead of us and made a quick right turn, dragging Kid down the slope, then back up to the tractor path. When the...

Thankyou, Jeannie. He is very sweet And tries very hard. That cart is called an Itebte. Made by Mike Groose from Missouri. He doesn’t make them anymore. ? It’s a bit heavy at 145 lbs, but has lots of adjustments to get good balance, and the torsion axle works great. It needs a new paint job and...

I am so excited for you Jeannie! I hope everything goes smoothly for you and that you get moved in and settled in time to enjoy some driving!

People are crazy! Especially when hiding behind a keyboard.

Kid seems to get a little tender on his fronts, so I use the easy boots when we road drive. Mine are mini size 3

Cayuse, you are correct, I was supposed to go to the Spring Fling this weekend. Unfortunately, I had to be a grownup and not go. ? I had a huge income tax debt this year, and my real estate taxes took a jump, so I am tax poor. I couldn’t afford to take all the time off work (I work Thursday thru...

Hyper bikes are great fun! Your horse must stand well for getting on and off. I usually have to lift my leg over the shaft with my hand, and sometimes use his rump for stability, because I have bad hips. Once I am on, it is a great, comfy ride. If you ever get a chance, give it a try! Hyper...

Jeannie you are living my dream! We have talked about moving to NC, but I really don't think it will ever happen. I am so glad you are settled in and enjoying yourself! I would love to see photos.

Both have advantages. I like beta because I don't like to spend time cleaning leather. I have shown in my beta harnesses, but I don't do fancy turnout classes. Lately I only trail drive, so beta is the best choice for me. Nothing smells like well conditioned leather.
