    Moved:Debating whether to Drive My Gelding

    I just want to stress that you need to find a trainer to trian you and your mini to drive. There is so much involved. Even putting the harness on properly is not self explanitory.

    been watching this mare sooooooo long

    I think your mare has been giving my mare tips. My mare is/was "due" between May & Dec. Best guess would be early July based on a Dec u/s. She is HUGE even according to the vet. A month ago I had her ultrasounded to see and there is a baby in there moving around. Vet said 2-3 weeks is his...

    coughing horse

    Carts for Very Small Minis

    I have a hyperbike, it is a blast:) I drive my 32" gelding in it on trails. The lightweight design allows him the ability to make it up small hills. You can turn on a dime. The adjustable parts are the place for your feet and the height of the cart can be adjusted depending on where the...
