Yes, it seems horses for courses doesnt it? Some will enjoy it more than others. Even though he has made his distate known, I stil intend to show him from time to time. He lives a pretty good life so I think it is reasonable that he should be able to go 'round in a few circles looking pretty...

Woohoo, how wonderful that you are about to work his butt off, I am sure he will think it is a hoot too! I hope the weather is good to you as I was reading a thread where people were saying the weather was a bit too cold/snowy for driving. I am loving my cart too, it is just a bit too pretty...

This has reminded me to get a bit more serious about my spares kit. I have a bike pump for my tyres, a halter and lead, spare set of traces and some baling twine. I always carry my mobile (cell?) phone in my pocket too. I drink a lot of water so also often have a hydrapack on my back which is...

No, not limited by the cold buuuut am extremely limited by the heat! It is a day away from Summer here and the temperature is 107F....the sun is beating down mercilessly and I feel like I need a bag of IV fluids to keep hydrated, so my dear pony is currently under the shade of a fig tree with a...

Peggy, Janie from Chimacum is an absolute delight to deal with, I can't recommend her highly enough. I had received traces from another company that were not the length I ordered and were too short, even though I hadn't bought from Janie originally she was so kind and felt badly for me and had...

briliant, that all worked out really well. Good luck Tipsey, look forward to hearing how she goes MC.

Great pointers! Yes, I do find it boorrring- perhaps 'unexciting is a more accurate term- but like the social aspect of a being at a show. I will try and be a bit more enthusiastic and see if it infects him also.

Ahh how you describe Skip is what I am experiencing totally...yes yes yes!! Hmm wiffle bat, I don't think an electric cattle prod whip would have made a difference to him, he just wasn't going to bother himself with going round in circles. Happy Appy I reckon you are on to it, he hates it, but...

LOVE the parade photos!!!

My pony is a lovey forward mover on trails, roadwork etc. Put him in a show ring though and he is a SLUG. Seriously. It is all I can do to get him not to stop still and stand at where the line-up will be everytime the circle passes by that point. Keeping him trotting is exhausting!! It was only...

Naw, I miss FB for keeping up with my 'friends from afar' like you.. I hope Mingus is having a fun Winter. Just re-read my original post and realised it sounded like I pulled my horse outta the paddock and made him work his butt off, I have to say he has been driven kinda regulary, but just for...

I haven't been on LB for ages...or FB or anything vaguely social as I have been busy and am too much of a social butterfly to focus and get work done if I am looking at interesting stuff online. lol I haven't done a great deal of driving lately either but decided to head out to a show yesterday...

wooooo! photos,photos!

exciting! you won't be disappointed in your harness choice. I love my comfyfit harness, it fits beautifully and looks so well...comfy!

Just great! You two look wonderful together, congrats.You look so elegant! I hope someone more experienced will come along re:breeching, but my basic understanding is that you wouldn't want the breeching to suddenly 'sneak up' and startle a horse, which may happen if it is so loose the horse...

lovely turnout! i so love your horse, have looked at your pics in the gallery section before and drooled over him

hee hee, it is Winter here atm, but I am sure I will revisit this thread come summer time

hee hee yes, I rather think so Peggy. Can't wait to see your little guy when he gets going, he is one spunky little equine! hurrah! Glad you replied Leia, I was looking for a bit of feedback. The breeching here is such a tricky thing. I prefer it up a notch and had it like that at a club day...

I have had two drives now I snuck out yesterday quickly. It felt a little goofy (but comfy!) on the first drive as my seating position was higher than my existing cart, I just went out again today and felt great in it. I kept cringeing if there was a pot hole in the road we were going to drive...

wowsers. you have been through so much! glad you are finding joy in your wee horses
