    Modifying/ figuring out how my harness works

    I work with Yonie's and have designed a nice all around harness. I have several people who do CDE driving. These are safe snd comfortable for the horse. They run between $950 to $1100 for minis depending on you size and needs. I love my harness.

    WE LOVE PARADES

    I trained a big horse to bow. Just using a treat. Under their mouth move it towards the ground and back towards their chest and have your arm between their front legs. My babies strength like that all the time.. so bow is easy. Sometimes I would hold a lead rope in the other hand infrint of them...

    I Need Help in Decision About Keeping My Mini

    Don't beat yourself up. I bought the sweetest bred mare once and she was great with everyone for about 2 weeks. Then she started charging my driving gelding. Was crazy mean. I returned her to the breeder. It was heart breaking too. But move to better things. Beautiful new horse!

    Bit/Training Suggestions

    first this is NOT a driving bit, second there is NO cavason to help hold the mouth closed and keep the bit in place, and third with this bit it could use a chin strap for placement also. Plus bumping the bit for stop is more understandable to the horse unless you have a run away. In which case...

    Bit/Training Suggestions

    Ok. So first you need to know how a bit works. 3 piece bits are the easiest thing in the mouth. They have no major effect on their direction. It all depends on what type of 3 piece (French link as you are using) and how they work. The trainers I know, start a driver in a broken bit or (as...

    Supplements

    I have used it. I really liked it. But my mini came up with a fatty liver. Don't know if it was related or not. But it is an oil base product.

    Considering Selling my Driving Mini ~ What is a fair price?

    It's all about how you market her and what you want for her future life. Once sold you have no control over her. We try our best to do good homes, but it sometimes fails. The market in your area is important but not a main factor if your willing to ship her at buyers expense which is risky...

    Am I Crazy To Have Such Young Horses at My Age?

    65 yrs young! 3 minis. 20 yr old retired pinto mare, 3 yrs old appy gelding, and my newly trained 4 yr old gelding! Never too old. Just make arrangements for them.

    How did you decide to have a minihorse?

    I had a bucket list to learn to drive. I talked to a lady with a driving horse for sale and she told me since I had not driven perhaps I needed to try ot first. She put me in the direction of a really nice couple and they were able to give me a couple lessons, but their best horses for that was...

    Mini bits

    I would try just a little tighter first. Now my green mini did this several times but with a cavason it helps keep the mouth closed and they don't do this as much. If you don't use a cavason try it.
