    Hoof Boot Question/advice needed

    I’m with Mindy on this one for sure...I LOVE my Equine Fusion Active boots!! No rubs, amazing traction and Coady barely even needed an adjustment period. Yes, they’re expensive, but for my needs they’re worth every cent. I hope to be able to start driving again soon to get some miles on those...

    Rescue Mini

    Sorry for the long time between updates. My life has been crazy lately and I haven’t been on here much. Anyway, so much to say! Little Rosie is doing fabulous. The farrier that my friend recommended is amazing and since she specializes in corrective trims, she wasn’t even dazed by the challenge...

    Rescue Mini

    These are her poor little back hooves :( Here’s after her haircut...it’s quite rough looking, but she was afraid of the clippers and after all she’s been through I wasn’t going to push her yesterday. I’ll let her gradually get used to the clippers. Before her haircut This is her tied...

    Rescue Mini

    While I was out at the barn where my TWH is boarded last week, my friend told me about some minis that the owner was threatening to shoot if no one took them. On Friday she was able to go out and see them...thankfully, 2 of the minis already got homes. A little 4 year old mare was left. She had...

    Question on blinkers!

    I started driving my little man in an open bridle this year and I’m so happy I did. He was a little confused at first, but he is so much happier driving without the blinders. We do a lot of trail driving; sometimes in the company of riders on big horses, and I much prefer him being able to see...

    Driving Me Buggy 2019 Hours!!!

    I hope you get to feeling better and back to your chipper self in no time Mindy! Oh wow Peggy, you’re so fortunate to have been able to go to the Spring Fling! I would’ve loved to go but with my work schedule (not to mention that would be a heck of a drive if I wanted to bring my boy...I’ve...

    Driving Me Buggy 2019 Hours!!!

    30 minutes for Coady yesterday...his first hitched drive with the open cheek pieces :D he was unsure at first, then he settled in and did his job like a good little boy. Today was when I was planning on bringing him out to the barn (said the wrong day on a previous post) but our plans got rained...

    Peanut is such a handsome little dude! I love the picture. MC, thank you for all the hard work adding up those minutes and putting them into an organized spreadsheet for us!! I was able to ground drive Coady yesterday for 10 minutes with his new open cheek pieces for his bridle! I was so...

    Driving Me Buggy 2019 Hours!!!

    Cayuse, I hear you on that one! The hayfield our at the barn my TWH is boarded at is full of bumpy little ruts, which I did not realize until I decided to let Coady canter. I thought my fillings were going to fall out, and I don’t even have any fillings! :confused: Mindy, what an awesome video...

    First mini

    Since you have past horse experience, if this little guy has been regularly handled and has some manners he might be a good first mini for you. If you plan on driving remember that it will be a few years before you can hook him, but you would have plenty of ‘prep time’ to do ground work and...

    Anyone have a Frontier Traverse for pairs?

    That looks like a nice little rig...I hope someone here has experience with it and can answer your questions! I had considered that one actually when I was on the hunt for a new trail vehicle, but with the type of driving that I wanted to do and since I only have my one little guy I got a...

    Coady’s minutes for the week so far! 4/15 — 20 min 4/17 — 40 min 4/18 — 40 min 4/19 — 40 min Marsha, I hope adding Coady to the clipping topic means his mane looks good, not because his owner needs to learn how to use the dang clippers :p I’m sort of getting the hang of it...if I had better...

    Driving Me Buggy 2019 Hours!!!

    I was able to take Coady out to the barn where my TWH is boarded and we had 105 minutes of awesome driving :D we warmed up in the indoor arena, tried to work on something that sort of resembled dressage if you tried to do dressage with one of those big exercise balls instead of a pony (he was...

    Driving Me Buggy 2019 Hours!!!

    4/10 — 50 min of ground driving for my sassy little boy... Today, 50 minutes of driving with much better manners...so glad I ground drove him the other day before hooking him today. He was far more polite than with the previous drives this year. Depending on the weather I’m hoping to trailer...
