    Winter has returned to Illinois. Very little ambition to drive in the cold, damp, windy weather. Butch Cassidy 55 mins Sundance Kid 50 mins

    Open Bridle

    I had mine custom made in black beta from Nifty Tack.com (also on Facebook). Under $50 if I remember correctly. She also does leather and nylon.

    How to measure cart for leg room?

    If you are happy with everything else about the Kingston, perhaps a less expensive and easier option to buying a new cart would be to add a wedge to your seat. This would open up your hip angle a bit, and give you a more secure seat. Google “carriage wedge seat” for some examples.

    Our weather has reverted back to winter - upper30s and low 40s and damp and blustery. It’s going to be a struggle to get them conditioned for the National Drive Spring Fling Butch Cassidy 45 mins Sundance Kid 45 mins

    Woohoo! I finally got the boys hitched as a pair Sunday. New-to-me Eurocollars and harness required lots of tweaking. Almost as much fiddling as actual driving, but I think we finally got it pretty good. I think I lost all my videos and photos from my phone Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy 45 mins

    Sundance Kid will be 25 this August. He is a chocolate silver dapple, so he sheds out Hershey brown. He has always had a grey beard, but in the last few years he’s gotten more grey on his face.

    Another breezy spring day. Sundance Kid and I went out with April leading Raina on ****oo, and Lizzy and Allison on their bikes. Through the subdivision with a stop to visit our friend Mary and her two girls. I love how bikes whizzing by doesnt even cause an ear flick. Sundance Kid 75mins

    Weather here is like an early spring! 40s and breezy. I know we will probably get at least a few more snows and more cold, but I am taking advantage of it. I’m still tweaking my new-to-me harness. I think I really like the comfy fit euro collars. I may use this harness for both singles and...

    Another warm day, so another day to drive. Unfortunately, a cold front came through and took the sun with it, so it was a balmy 40* by the time I was harnessed and hitched. A quick jaunt through the subdivision in the sprinkling mist was enough for us. Sundance Kid 40 minutes

    Actually, she's a standard donkey. Not really broke to ride, but likes to go out with the group and cooperates nicely. No saddle or bridle, just her halter and lead rope. And a "no fear" teenager!

    Temps were in the mid 40s today, so we actually went for a longer drive. Through the subdivision, then back out on the main road for 1/4 mile. We went over the bridge , the water was fairly high and quite rapidly flowing, but Butch was perfect. Turned around at the intersection, then back over...

    We had a slight warm up so I got to drive today! The clouds took over by the time I was able to hitch, and it felt colder than 40*. Everything is so gray I have a struggle with depression, but even a short drive lifted my spirits. Butch Cassidy. 30 mins
