We are sorry but you have us confused with someone else. We were NOT in the Pegasus Parade last year. Our horses are shod with boron on their shoes to prevent them from slipping. Thanks for your concern. Hal & Deb

According to WAVE-TV (Louisville, KY) the unit in which we helped represent the Miniature Horse and Shetland Pony, won the Non-Commercial Driven Award at the 2012 Kentucky Derby Pegasus Parade! Yipee !!! The photo was provided by the Courier Journal.

We were going thru old photos and found this one. Hal broke "Patch" to drive on a dare from a friend. They were a big hit at all the parades. Patch had several costumes - this was his Sheriff's outfit complete with a badge and pearl handle six-shooters (cap guns - that worked!) They sure...

This might sound crazy but the best thing we have found is Adolfs Meat Tenderizer.

Our halter just arrived. It is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so very much. Just wish we had a "clean" horse to put it on! And -- to everyone ---MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hal & Deb Bryant

Congratulations to all the entries. Christmas Parades are always so much fun! Love all the entries and our minis who put up with all the decorations we ask them to wear! Happy Holidays to all! Hal & Deb

Yep! That's a camel - His name is Charlie and he is the worlds biggest baby! In the wagon are little Hoppy, named for Hop Along Cassidy and Jingles, named for Roy Roger's sidekick. This is Miss Kitty (from Gunsmoke) We call her doghouse - "The Long Branch" And this is "Patch" He's...

Horse & Cart Saturday we did two parades - one in the morning and another lighted parade at night. Reindeer, Santa Hats and Bows on the horses and about 1,000 lights on the wagon including a strand of rope lights down the pole on the wagon.   Merry Christmas, Everyone! Hal & Deb Bryant

We like to find lots of ways to enjoy our minis and ponys outside of the Show Ring. Do any of you recognize these two? This is the same team shown on page 23 of the Oct/Nov issue of the Journal - Congress Campions 2-pony Draft Hitch! This was taken just last Thursday. The nurses at a local...

Who Us?! Were they talking about us ?? !! Thank you all for all your very kind comments. We just do what we love and love what we do - glad it shows and people notice! Becky M.- We would be happy to help in any way we can - we love to help promote hitch driving anyway we can. We try very...

Karen - I'm sorry - I mis-spoke earlier. The new rules were not approved at the Convention but rather at the Spring Board of Directors Meeting and posted on the Registry web-site stating - "Delete from 2008 Rulebook and 2010 Supplement" - the old rules and add the new rules. We have said for...

Thanks Marty, We really enjoy what we do and just want to do all we can to help promote not only the Miniature breed but hitch driving, too.

Andrea - Thanks for your kind words. Last Winter, 5 teamsters that have exhibited at The Nationals were contacted by the Rules Committee of the Registry and asked us to come up with a set of rules for the Miniature Draft Classes. After much discussion and e-mails among the committee members...

A few weeks ago a friend sent us this picture of our hitch from the 2011 Pony Congress in Des Moines, Iowa. We asked people for the "perfect caption" for it on the Shetland Forum and on Facebook. We are still laughing at all of them.   But the one we chose as the winner is: "Hal, I told...

We usually attend Nationals at Tulsa but did not this year. Instead we exhibited at the pony Congress in Des Moines. Since we could not be there in person - we watched all three draft classes to see how the new rules worked out. And yes, we will follow up with other rules committee members...

New and changed Draft Rules regarding ring procedures were approved at last years convention and have been followed by all the shows this summer. Why have they reverted to the "old" rules at this years National Show? I was one of several on the commmittee that reviewed and re-worked these...

I "played" with this photo for over one hour and could not enlarge it for the forum. Your right - the turnout is pretty - but little Morgan is definitely a "CUTIE"! Thanks - Hal & Deb

My great niece was recently crowned Little Miss White County. It is my honor to be her escort at a recent parade. No doubt - she was the prettiest young lady there!

Of our 27 head of horses - 21 are broke to drive. Most of then as teams and all drive single. The remaining 6 are brood mares or are too young to start.
