2024 Hours Driven

[Cayuse]

Happy Holidays to everyone !
I have not forgotten our year end ribbons. I will get them sorted after the Holidays. I've slowed myself down a little this Fall and am taking things one step at a time as the arthritis has been kicking up.

I ground drove and walked the ponies all Fall, stopping last week when it snowed. Wanted to take the sled out but not enough snow for that. I did get a pic of Cappy in his Christmas outfit. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

Cappy is so cute! Kick that arthritis to the curb!!
Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas to you @Cayuse!
I spent Saturday afternoon on my tractor plowing a wonderful path around the field, even did some smaller loops for little Willy because he will not have stamina to get all the way around the field. And Sunday my fibro flared up and I haven't been able to get out to drive it yet! Oh well, it won't last.

Friday we got out to do a visit at one of the long-term care centres in my work area. The littles got hot quickly inside so we spent more time being door greeters outside. It was still wonderful.

All my best to you all in the new year. And thank you for everything you do in participating in this forum.

Falcor yesterday went out for 45 minutes with me.
We finally got into the field along the track and it was GREAT!!! He seems to absolutely love the skis on his cart (now to be referred to as the sleigh) and had no concerns about following the entire track around the field. I'm having so much fun with him.

Oh, he can come down my chimney any time! Lovely picture.
I'm glad you were able to work with your ponies this fall, in spite of your arthritis and the vet work.
We have not even had a hint of snow yet--a most mild December.

Not done yet! Saturday Phillippe and I went around for 45 minutes.
I need to get carbide runners for my K-cart's skis. He says it's too hard to pull in the field otherwise.

About 45 minutes ground driving Rowan today. It was almost 60 out!

Happy New Year to everyone! I'm at work today and will be out of daylight before I can get home and hitched. Thanks for a memorable year. I've absolutely loved all the progress made this year. I appreciate having been able to share it with you. I wish you all the best in 2025. May your partnerships grow stronger and your ponies take you on marvelous adventures.
Cheers from Amanda, Phillippe, Jasmine and Falcor

I hitched Rowan and drove him in the ring for about 15 minutes today. Still no trotting but some nappiness and a contemplated meltdown worked through, ended on a good note.

Happy New Year, everyone!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I will get the driving hours updated ASAP and start the 2025 driving thread. Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.

Okay we drove 198 hours and 10 minutes this year! That's over 8 days of driving. Congrats everyone! I (hopefully) attached the PDF of the final driving spreadsheet. Let me know if I've messed it up and the PDF won't open for you

@MajorClementine Thank you again, so very much, for taking the time to track everyone's driving! I'm super pleased with the amount I got in the box seat!!
