Here is my bike! I have the C shafts and then we had to cut them down a bit more as they were too long for my 40" tall pony. (This photo was taken before we trimmed the shafts.) This is the most fun you can have driving a mini or small pony!

I have had easy entry carts of all kinds and two hyperbikes. I always go back to the bike :) It's so much more versatile for the kind of driving I do. But I am tackling very difficult terrain, steep, rocky and sometimes sandy with water crossings. The Kingston was just too heavy for the type of...

I am happy to help you with this! First, it is always a good idea to have a bridle and driving lines on any hitched animal, as shared above. That's for safety sake. If a horse or pony is hitched to a vehicle there needs to be a person in the cart with the lines in hand. Next I would raise the...

thank you so much! I had to update my profile since Zorro and I have lost so much weight and we gained a new baby 🤗 💙

Unless you mean the single trees. Then we have tons! You can find them here: Eveners Archives | Chimacum Tack

They aren't on the website yet because they haven't been made :) Once the shop makes a set then I can let you know how much they will be!

Oh! And I am 100% back to normal. Thank you for asking @Dragon Hill ! Either I had a light COVID case or my life style changes helped me recover faster. Whichever it was I am so grateful!

Driving is expensive! LOL! But is so rewarding 🤗 Chimacum Tack has some single trees that might work for your cart. We even have red ones! I'm always happy to help sort things out as well.

This is called a roller bolt style single tree. You need a roller bolt style trace, which is just a simple loop on the single tree end of the traces. I think that is fine for easy driving, on flat ground or well groomed areas, but for trail driving I feel it's not a very safe situation. I know...

Hi guys! I have tested positive for COVID so my driving days will be numbered this month. Sigh. I haven't been horribly sick so that's good. But I am so TIRED. There aren't even words good enough to explain how tired I feel. And weak. So so weak. I'll catch up my driving hours for now! 9/22/20...

I love distance driving with my pony! I am part of a big horse driving club and our weekend drives are known to be between 12-15 miles long, back to back. My pony keeps up easily. We often do 15 miles one day and then 15 miles the next over varying and difficult terrain. We trot, canter and walk...

9/20/20 Drove Zorro in the bike - 120 minutes.

Catching up Zorro's minutes today! We have had heavy smoke for the last two weeks and this last week it was so bad it was making my eyes hurt. So no driving last week. Yesterday we had a lovely heavy rain which helped clear up some of the smoke so I'm hopeful that will continue! I'm so looking...

It sounds like she is seeking tongue relief. A mullen mouth or an arch mouth bit would probably work well for her! I work for Chimacum Tack and help people with bitting issues all the time. We sell Bowman bits and for her size the price would be $79. I suggest a half cheek or a baucher cheek...

Chimacum Tack has a wonderful harness for those on a tight budget. It's called the Whiteman harness. You have to either be nominated or nominate yourself but it's an easy process. I look over the nominations myself! I am also happy to help try to make what you have work. That's part of my job...

I used to pony Zorro off the back of the cart when I drove his mama. I waited until he was a little older as he was a tough one to halter train. He hated the feeling of the halter on his face so I had to take it nice and easy with him. But ponying him wasn't ever a problem! Then I ponied his...

Sorry! The above post is me obviously. For some reason I was booted off when I posted it!

Wowza!! You guys are so lucky that it all ended well for sure! What a relief!

Drove Zorro 90 minutes yesterday in the bike! We were testing a new style of hoof boot from Equine Fusion, the Trekking shoe! So far we both really like them!

It's probably not fair to compare Zorro to other miniatures. His Shetland is 100% Arenosa. If you have followed the Shetland trend you may recognize this bloodline as being VERY flashy and firey in the halter ring. And you rarely see them driving. If you do it's briefly in the show ring...
