Looks like the latest satellite pictures say heavy rain in Portland right now. Up north here in Tacoma, WA we had the heavy rains but luckily not the high winds. Lots of mudslides around both north and south of here. 5-7 inches of rain last nite 50 miles south. Passes closed because of...

Great site, I do agree with the font size being a little larger though. My trifocals are squinting. HA You have a wonderful and talented family---kids and horses---congrats on doing so well at Nationals. That is a sign that everyone loves their minis and work hard to show.

:aktion033: :aktion033: :aktion033: Great job! I applaud you for doing tandem before and accomplishing it. Not sure I could ever drive them that way. Hoping to do my duo in a year so Hats off to you. On top of you being able to enjoy the snow, would not work well here in the rain and mud.

My first trainer had all of us in Graber easy entry carts. I love the curvature of the shafts, well balanced and light cart. Their service is also great. I had a horse break a shaft and they rushed me replacements within 10 days at a very low cost. I have an older all metal cart also that is...

I also get the first foal halters from Prime Design. Not adjustable but have the small ones for first two months.

Good start. Like you I had a MSN community website before. Your picture on the new one is great but maybe a little overwhelming. That nephew of yours is a cutie and will love the miniatures I bet. That shetland mare is a beauty too.

: : Have to love her. Her markings are so well placed and even on both sides plus a great face! Of course will have that movement we all love from Buckeye. Lucky, Lucky you :aktion033: :aktion033: :aktion033:

:aktion033: I applaud your training ability and beautiful horses. Also the time you spend on the road as an advertisement to the breed. To think I am stressing how to train two geldings as a team!

Love those high whites! Maybe call her Bobby Sox?

I don't remember that we changed bedding we were using when my mare was attacked. The wounds had to be cleaned and disinfected once to twice daily. I believe Straw tends to stick tight to a horse worse than hay or shavings would. Sorry, I have no pictures to share. The vet kept them in case we...

Tell her how sorry we are for her loss and prayers for her show mare. I had two pregnant mares attacked by pit bulls 2 years ago. One looked like the baby had been torn out from the rear. I was ready to put her down but the vet said to give it a try. Stitched her up, she had a baby 30 days...

I have a 24 year old stallion here. He came along as a package with a 2 year old. I really wanted the 2 year old boy and old Topper needed a home also as the gal was selling her farm. He had been Patches babysitter for 2 years. Patches at 35.5" became to rowdy for this little 29.5" old guy so I...

I just had a 2 and 3 year old gelded in October. Our vet also requested that we not hose them down. The exercise was more important. I babied them for first two days and locked them in at night. Found out they were better off with stall open to the paddock so they kept moving longer plus forced...

Thanks everyone. I am not a HTML person so the tools at Earthlink were just a dream to use. I would recommend them to everyone. You get 10MB per email address so of course I have maxed that out!. Up to 8 or 10 identitys can be used each with 10MB so is a good deal for free with membership...

I am so excited. I sat down yesterday and designed a new webpage for myself. I need to thank a forum member for mentioning ( somewhere here but cannot find the thread or member?) that earthlink members have free website hosting and tools. They were SO easy to use and was a great experience...

I don't know about the weight. When I started driving a trainer instructed me to put reins around the top of a kitchen chair to practice. If I pulled the chair forward I was using too much pressure on the reins.

I did find this harness which has options to change from single to pairs with conversion parts. http://www.ccfdriving.atfreeweb.com/harnesses.htm Sorry, Edited to add the URL for this.

Thanks Geese: I have only got the 3 year old started so as they are youngsters I am hopeful they will be easy to train as per your experience. I don't have team harnesses so thanks for the info on the breast collars. I will definitely check that option out. Patches, the three year old that is...

Thanks Leia, I was going to talk to Wanda this weekend also. Any suggestions on books, etc. would be great. I know it takes a lot of ground work and next couple years will be a challenge. Just want to do it correctly. Thanks all.

I am currently training a coming 3 year old to cart. His half brother is a year younger and will start late next year. I would appreciate any suggestions for the best way to get the pair to work together. Do you lunge together/ and or other combination of training as a duo needed? How do you...
