Henry was in a better mood yesterday and he was willing to let his momma have a training session...we managed 20 minutes of ground driving. I think that she’s going to make a better riding pony for the kiddos at the barn than driving pony for me. I’m going to keep working with her though to see...

Drove Little Joe (hitched) for 30 minutes today. It felt amazing to be back in the cart :D:D:D

I would tighten the backstrap a little and raise the breeching a bit. Other than that I’d say it looks pretty good! She’s a very pretty little gal :) On a second glance...what’s going on with the bridle? It looks like a second throatlatch? Is that the strap for the noseband? I can’t tell from...

I think he’s going to end up being dark bay. He is mostly black at the moment with hues of brown here and there. At the moment he looks like a black/brown Brillo pad :p he has very wiry fluff! I’d love to drive him some day when he gets older. At the moment we’re working on halter breaking...

Thank you ladies for the clipper advice! I’m definitely going to try the blade wash next time.

I’m sorry you had to go through that Marsha...it never ceases to amaze me how nasty people can be for no good reason. That’s one of many reasons that I never have had and never intend to have a Facebook account. I work in foodservice so I get my daily negativity fill at work! I’m glad that we...

10 minutes ground driving Eve...that’s all that she and I could handle with Henry rearing and kicking at her. I think her driving will have to wait until the little guy is weaned :confused: At least Henry found the bridle to be interesting!

The mini named Little Miss Muffet Came right down off of her tuffet A show is on its way And for her big day Miss Muffet cannot look like a tuffet! I was afraid that there wouldn’t be any shows this year because of the covid, but there will be one this Sunday! Coady is making a lot of progress...

Welcome! Can’t wait to see pictures of your two little mares!

Welcome to the forum Von! :D Spain looks beautiful! A different kind of beauty than I’m used to here in Pennsylvania, USA. Can’t wait to see more pictures of your minis!

I’m hoping that someone on here has such a set up that I could copy as well. Shasta and Coady are both small pony size at 40” and 39” respectively, but Rosie’s 30” stature is hard for our farriers! (We have two wonderful ladies who tag team on our two special cases, Rosie and Shasta.) I would...

They sold out to State Line a few years ago. It’s sad really...horse.com is the parent company (used to be called Country Supply) and they bought up State Line probably 14 years ago now. Just like minitack, State Line had higher quality equipment. Unfortunately the prices for such equipment were...

I had an amazing 40 minute ground drive with Coady today. He’s naturally very high strung, and since the accident last year all of that nervous energy has turned my confident, happy boy into a spook monster. I’ve done a lot of desensitizing work with him but he’s still been spooky. He doesn’t...

40 minutes ground driving Coady. :) He was SUCH a good boy!!!

I’ve used a LOT of different halters, but now I’ll only buy Chimacum’s betathane halters.(Other than Coady’s leather halter with a nameplate...I splurged on that one but 80% of the time I use his beta one.) They might cost a little more than nylon but beta lasts forever and looks nice longer. I...

If I wasn’t on the other side of the country I would take you up on that!!

Thank you! I think she’s a cutie but I’m a bit biased ;) Her hooves are still a bit wonky from the lack of hoof care before we got her. I’m not sure why but the farrier is having a harder time getting the fronts to grow correctly than she did with the hinds. The hinds were terrible...she was...

15 minutes ground driving for Rosie this evening :) she’s such a sassy girl!

We finally have a day with no rain and only mild wind! 25 minutes ground driving for Coady.

I don’t have Facebook...out of curiosity, does anyone know how much he is asking for one of these carts and approximate weight of a finished cart?
