I love reading about what you all have been up to! I have been missing in action but have been getting some pony time in... we've mainly been hiking lately as I had a friend visiting and only have the one Hyperbike. Also we had nearly two weeks of big wind storms followed by thunder, lightning...

2 weeks ago we did 6 miles and then yesterday we drove 12 miles! This is a very fun group. My friend Molly and I are the only ones with ponies. Everyone else drives drafts, mules, fjords or Morgans. People also ride along as out riders. 6/13/20 - 105 minutes driving Zorro in the bike 6/18/20 -...

6/11 Drove Zorro in the bike and ponied Sky. We went 5 miles in 90 minutes. 6/12 Drove Zorro and ponied Sky in the mountains today. We drove 5 miles in 120 minutes. Lots of steep terrain to navigate!

@Minidreamz0581 it's so hard to try to guess what their triggers are. And sometimes I think we will just never know. I'm sorry that his drive didn't go better. I was hoping that he was moving forward for you :confused:

90 minutes of drive time with Zorro today. Ponied Sky! We went 4 miles and trotted 3 of them. We will be joining a group drive this weekend so we're trying to build up our miles this week!

I forgot to post my time for driving yesterday! We did 90 minutes of driving and went 5 miles. It was a lot of climbing and this time Zorro pulled me up some of the steepest hills! I only got out and walked one that is very steep and very long. I don't want to hurt him. It took so long because I...

I'll also share miniature horse fly masks from Masks for Minis. It's Sue Mason who drives the appy teams here. Masks for Minis is on Facebook! She makes masks for babies as well :)

I have a friend who shared these cool fly collars: https://www.chicksaddlery.com/herbal-fly-collar-for-horses-by-alzoo-equine I ordered mine last week! She said they work wonders on flies.

I think this video is simply amazing Sue!! I love what you do with your ponies :)

I'm so sorry this happened Marsha :( I saw that post and was very discouraged by the rudeness of the people there. I am not thrilled with the people in that group. I have to say I think they are very closed minded and rude. I'm glad the admins stepped in. There are places I just do NOT post on...

Drove Zorro in the bike today for 2.5 hours, ponied Sky. I hauled them an hour away and we had a lovely bright sunshiny 6 mile drive! It was a fun day. We left the house at 11:30 and didn't get home until 5:30. I love days like that!

This sounds like fun! I'll have to look it up. So far this year Zorro and I have clocked 131.5 miles! We are down a bit from this time last year, but summer is just beginning! Yesterday we did 60 minutes of driving with the bike. I ponied Sky and we went 3 miles. Today we did 60 minutes of...

Zorro will do this if I am driving him without booting all four feet. I used to drive him that way and then he had a little laminitis attack last spring and I decided to boot him on all four for a long weekend drive we did, just to prevent any soreness since he was doing so well after being...

I would love to see your set up when you get it as well!

I did 40 minutes of ground driving Zorro. We are having one storm after another today with HIGH winds. When we started out Zorro was pretty shivery. He wanted to trot and jig, I'm sure because he was cold. I didn't want him to hurt himself but he spent the first 5 minutes bucking pretty hard...

Is the mouthpiece too big or are the cheeks too big? If the mouth piece is too big that can be a problem as the bit will constantly slide back and forth in your pony's mouth which can result in sores on the corners of their mouth. It's VERY hard to find quality 3" sized bits. Bowman Bits custom...

I think it would work just fine. It's soft and basically wraps around the neck in whatever position the neck is laying. This style works GREAT on donkeys and their necks typically tie in super low. This style also needs to be very snug to function correctly. I see photos of this style breast...

I need to catch up my minutes! The weather hasn't really been cooperating but I just head out and do it anyway. It's not really rainy and boy do I wish it would!! We are super dry around here. But it's super windy and very cloudy. So a bit depressing to be honest. I'm pretty sure we are going to...

I'm not sure if this would interest you, but I've started a Conformation Investigation over on Chimacum Tack's blog. People send in photos of their minis, ponies and horses and I go over them. Keep in mind that these are all based on my personal opinion but some people are finding them useful...

I LOVE this!! Sometimes I even ask myself that question when I am making excuses for why I'm not taking the ponies out... I think, What would I have done last year? I would have gone out anyway! So out I go! And we got rained on a bit yesterday as well :)
