Hi to everbody! How are you in this crazy times? I hope you're all okay and healthy! We still are. Due to the lockdown and the fact I have to work in home office, I have more time to enjoy with my minis. I drove a lot in the past few weeks. We don't have a really strict exit lock in Switzerland...

Thanks for sharing, Mindy! The former owner of my mini Teddy used to drive bitless with a caveson. She recommended me to drive him bitless. I tried it twice, but it didn't work. Grass was always too attractive for him and he've learned from the former owner how to NOT obey with the bitless...

I clip my minis all winter long, because they're working hard and they get breathing issues whit than fur. Usually, I start with clipping the throat/neck/breast and a part of the belly. When they're sweating or breathing too hard at work with that pattern, I continue part by part until they're...

2/15: 40 minutes for Massai (3.6 miles), 40 minutes for the team Teddy/Moony (3.5 miles) 2/16: 50 minutes for the team Teddy/Moony/Massai (3.6 miles) - we did some drone recordings to get them used to the filming drone, it was very exciting! 2/20: 40 minutes for the team Teddy/Moony/Massai (4...

wow, Midnight is quite fast! How tall is she? Nice to hear you had a long, enjoyable drive :) I know this issue when I sat too long in the sulky... *my back* :rolleyes: I'm working on a fast trot with my mini Moony, as you know he's starting on pony races for the second season this year. We...

Thanks for the compliments, folks :) oh yes, it was confusing the first time. They didn't unterstand that they had just to walk immediately, but now, they're all used to it and love it. I mostly use the treadmill only for 5-15 minutes to warm them up or to pass the time while I'm grooming...

Thanks MajorClementine :) If you're not yet in a good running condition, I suggest to start running without horses first, and add the horsey later. It's a lot of fun to run with miniature horses! They definitely love it and it's very good for their shape. -------------------------- We did only...

@MindySchroder very sorry to hear about your grandfather. My sincere condolences to you and your family. welcome to @tinkchevy48 and @Crickett ! I haven't had much time last week: 1/29: 30 minutes for the team Teddy/Moony 2/1: 40 minutes for Teddy/Moony again 2/2: 40 minutes for Teddy and 30...

I forgot to tell about great news: we have a new pony in our barn, we picked up him 7 days ago. His name is Fuego, he's a 17 years old partbred shetland gelding, he's taller than my minis. He's not my own, his new owner is a girl from a near town. Fuego was a good driving pony, sadly he had...

1/23: 20 minutes for the team Moony/Teddy 1/24: 30 minutes for the team Moony/Teddy 1/25: 60 minutes of ground driving for Moony Haven't had much time for driving the last 2 weeks :rolleyes: Thanks! He's doing very good, not as reactive as he was in the beginning. Sometimes, he's freezing, but...

@Cayuse sorry to hear about Peanut :-( I hope he gets well soon! Yes, I drove him a few times last year. He was the most motivated driving I've ever had :) Thanks Mindy! Sometimes, I wish I'd more time to drive my minis, but since I'm working as a software developer, I've that need to move...

I agree, I would separate them too. Get another horse for the little mare, she will be happier that way. Does the goat attack the other goat too? I'm not sure if your goat has the same issue as our goat had, but maybe this story can help: We had two african dwarf goats (males) long time ago, and...

Hi everyone! :) May I join the challenge again? It's the same team as last year; my three minis Massai, Moony and Teddy. We are driving several types of hitchings: single, team, 3-in-hand, tandem, unicorn, maybe 4-in-hand. I have a few hours from the beginning of the year. I logged the hours...

Hi to everyone! And a happy new year! I am still alive and I think it's time for me to join the forum again :) I've missed you all! I've had a lot of work last year and not very much time, but we still drive a lot. Sadly we had to let go our oldest pony Prince. We had to put him to sleep on...

Hi there! It's time to let you hear from me. We are still alive! :) And I'm happy to be back, I'll read this thread after I wrote this to be fully updated of what's going on. We are veeeery busy this summer. I had a holiday and the horses enjoyed their off-time (2 weeks) too. They're back in...

Every time I have a look here there is some more driving you did :eek: you are a crazy bunch! :D and I feel my hours are nothing compared to hours! But I've a very few hours too from the last weeks: 5/1: 60 minutes for the team Massai/Teddy/Moony 5/3: 30 minutes for the team Massai/Teddy/Moony...
