Thanks guys for the ideas....I was thinking along the lines of what Marty posted, though the other idea is nice too,and may be better to keep other critters from wandering in...I was mainly thinking of being able to keep the door open of my little barn at night when it is so hot... Angie

Adair, That is so awesome you have a close harness maker. I am thinking of making my trip to Driving Essentials an overnight trip so I don't have to rush back and can maybe shop/sightsee a bit. Angie

Does anyone know of a place to get mini sized stall guards? I may end up making my own...but wouldn't mind just buying one.

Mary, I look forward to meeting you guys! It is a lovely show. Lucky seven, if you can make it to the show, I think you'd have a nice time. It is a beautiful setting and wonderful horses. Angie

Hi guys...the show is actually at Lindenwald, which was the home of Pres Van Buren. It is located in Kinderhook NY. I am a member of Saratoga Driving Association and will be there working at the show all day. Angie

I got the call with Buck's results yesterday. Positive for Lyme....He'll be on doxycycline 2x a day for 30 days along with probiotcs...I also ordered him Smartflex II Support...I will put Wish on it too...I can always up him to Smartflex 3 if I feel he needs some more oomph...Hopefully we will...

Mary, thanks for the name of the supplement, I will look into it as well as what Smartpak has too. Kendra, I hope he does too. He loves the attention and to work. Yesterday I took him out to ground drive him to do a little rehab the vet prescribed, just walk/ whoa, and a few strides of...

Glad to hear he is working again and that you have found someone to help you with him. Angie

Hi Mary, He is currently on MSM. When my vet calls back with e test results I thought I'd see if she recommended any other supplements. What are your guys on? I hate ticks I drove Wish tonight and Buck so wanted me to pick him. Angie

Many of you know of my little Buck from my posts here on the forum. I have journaled on here his training since he was a 9 month old. He is 5 now. He admittedly doesn't have the best stifle conformation, although he does not lock, he can be a bit short strided in the rear, particularly his right...

Hi Adair, I got my mini trace carriers and a pony sized kicking strap from Sandee at Iowa Valley Carriage. Very happy with both of them...I have had my min sized kicking strap from her for a few years but knew I'd need a longer one for the Aerocrown. Angie

Thank you everyone for your replies. I am going to hold off and try it out, then maybe do as Leia suggests and add the footman's loops for it later if I need it. My trace carriers and longer kicking strap arrived today Angie

He is a cutie Have his teeth been floated? You have gotten some good suggestions on other things to look at as well. Angie

Andrea, even with the curved shafts like the Aerocrown you found it didn't slide? I use one now on my carts with regular straight shafts and it is fine, but with the angle of the shafts on the Aero I wondered if it'd slide back. Angie

Maybe folks with Aerocrowns can chime in.. My Aerocrown is being built and I wondered about having a loop put on the shafts to run the kicking strap through so it doesn't slide. Does this make sense and has anyone done it? Angie

Jill they are beautiful for sure! Thanks for updating us. I was just thinking about your little Trooper the other day wondering how he was. Any driving plans in the future for these lovely girls? Angie

Kendra, she is so cute! I love her color I am in a similar predicament as my Buck is 'off' so have been working my mare, Wish. Keep us updated as you two develop as a team. Angie

Hi Adair, Since your current cart is an Aerocrown, I bet if you chose to show you would use that. My first cart 10+ years ago was a Frontier that I still have. I have started 2 mini donkeys and 3 horses in that cart. It is my old faithful LOL, that being said be prepared that you may have to...

Sounds like a great lesson! Thanks for including us Angie

I came across this video on Youtube and thought I'd share. I used to have mini donkeys that I trained to drive so I have a soft spot for these cuties. Now that I just have the horses it was nice to see donkey driving. Angie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW05FweXQow
