Just visited the page that Susanne linked; seems they build quite a variety of miniature vehicles! I'm predicting their business may 'pick up' considerably!!:c) Margo

What a coincidence, Susanne! I was coming over here to share the very same site information! On another driving list, I just read a posting about a story on a Canadian TV station about these very folks; the poster, a very knowledgable driver, was specifically pointing out the 4 wheeled vehicles...

I have always been a 'horror movie' fan(since the FIRST version of "The Thing"; anyone else remember that, w/ James Arness, later of 'Gunsmoke' on TV, as the monster? Anyway, so of course I love 'The Walking Dead'! ALMOST left DISH when they dropped AMC during a hiatus, berated them severely...

Some years back, I did a lot of research with the thought of perhaps getting a hookbill that was larger than a parakeet(my dad had raised parakeets for a time way back when). I eventually did get a Parrotlet, which I loved...but she was killed when I had to go out of town for several days, got a...

It has been announced that Pacific Carriage is going out of business; Bill Schuil is retiring. As I recall, the announcement said that they will 'use up' what they have on hand to build a few more vehicles, and I *think*, will have some parts available. Pacific built the 'Smart Cart' for...

What Marty said! Is one of the little 'cowponies' Little Johnny Reb himself?? Margo

Calf Manna has been around for a LONG time! I don't know if the formulation has changed over time, but it has always been a well-regarded supplement for many types of animal! It's been years since I've fed it, so don't recall the amount, but I imagine you could get onto the maker's website and...

That is a McClellan saddle...the 'standard' military one in the US from years back(not sure what they use today, maybe still this one?in military functions, such as funeral honor guards.) They are open down the center; really, they are just the bars of the tree,joined by a minimal cantle and...

OK, Susanne, now you've gone and done it! ;) After watching that Nightline bit again(had seen it before, but it's worth watching over again!!), then the page of 'other' Budweiser videos opens up, so I watched the '9ll Tribute' again. If you want to be really moved, watch that one; I tear up...

I used to own the Glinkowski that Donna (TMR)has(and also sold her the CDE cart she uses, an IteBte); I parted with both when I realized that I just wasn't going to be able to do CDEs, period...and I just didn't need such vehicles. My point is that I have had the most FUN driving my pair to my...

In this discussion, it would be well to remember that Rabbit, AnnaC. and the OP are all from where everyone drives on the opposite side of the roads from in the USA... I recently read a discussion on some driving forum(don't recall which; I participate in several!), wherein it was...

I do not and have never had anyone around to help when working horses(except on the rarest of occasion),so have had to rely on only myself. Others have given some good advice; I'd like to expound just a bit to say: EVERY action should be instituted by YOU. A gentleman who trained RIDERS to train...

I LOVED it, even though, as Susanne said, it isn't exactly 'true-to-life', if you know horses! There are some videos on youtube that show the training, and some outtakes, if I remember correctly, of the Clydes for the commercials. Can't remember the guy's name who does that training, but I think...

I've never paid the slightest attention to such things; have had numerous horses, both large and miniature, gelded, and never had ANY issues. Margo

I really prefer the 'gooseneck', or even the closed-end, marathon-type of shafts, but you would be hard-pressed to find them in any but a higher-end cart, be it metal(which is more commonly seen, esp. in miniature-sized carts) or wood(where they would likely be designated as 'gig-type'...

I do not know the Mathenys personally; only by reputation, which is of the best; and I have the greatest respect for the quality and integrity of their breeding program. This is such sad news; my deepest condolences to Getitia and all of their family. Margo

I agree that it is most likely the adjuvant that is the culprit in most vaccination reactions; I do use multiples, but prefer to always give WN separately and allow some time...several days to a couple of weeks...between the shots. I personally do not like to give shots in the neck, as it is a...

The reasoning seems to be that wooden shafts *can* splinter, and present a risk of severe injury to a horse in an accident. On the less expensive metal carts, the shafts, in my experience, are of fairly thin metal, and *could* bend or even break in an accident; however, there is usually less...

I have early copies of various Miniature horse magazine with ads and other mention of Dr. and Mrs. Fyke; they were clearly deeply immersed in the miniatures. I also remember pics and mention of 'Fykes Red Baron'. The Fykes came across as very nice folks! Margo, who interest in minis goes back...
