2024 Hours Driven

[Standards Equine]

I'd really like to get one of those pieces of equipment, I think that would be really handy. However, I'd also probably break it by leaving it on over the winter... I use the tracking app Equilab but it isn't very accurate. Sometimes it doesn't record big chunks of drives... However, the timer works. lol

Yesterday Phillippe and I drove for 30 minutes. I spent more time working on my friend's riding horse who "just couldn't even..." than driving my own donkey. Not so fun because I was on a time crunch. However, everything ended successfully and that's still a win!

About 1.5 miles for Rowan today ground-driving - 30 minutes? It was almost hot out.

I know! I think I have all day to drive Billy and then it's too hot! Soon we will be complaining that it is too cold...

 

[Abby P]

At least when it's warm at this time of year, there are no bugs!

 

[Standards Equine]

Gosh, the days got shorter and all of a sudden I haven't driven in two weeks!!! So sad!

 

[Standards Equine]

Sunday Phillippe drove for an hour.

I've been ground driving Peanut and Cappy quite a bit this Fall. I have not posted for a bit as I got locked out again but I seem to have it sorted out now. Cappy hasn't had the best year, he had the sinus surgery and a tooth out this Spring and has had to have a couple small procedures afterwards, he goes for a sinus scope this Friday. He's feeling great and we've been doing some online dressage classes to keep him busy, but I never did get to drive him this year. Peanut has been doing the online shows too. That's my ramble!

Hope the scope reveals all healed. What an ordeal that has been for both of you.

@Cayuse glad you're able to get back into the forum. I hear what you're saying about the season not going to plan. But all things in their own time, I suppose. Can you tell me about online shows? I'm really curious.

Falcor and Phillippé were both out for 90 minutes today.

 

[Standards Equine]

Yesterday Jasmine went out for 45 minutes.

 

[Standards Equine]

Falcor out for 45 and Phillippé for 35. A chilly, windy day for driving.

 

[Standards Equine]

Mr. Falcor was out for another hour yesterday. He's becoming confident up on the road solo as well as in the field. What a rockstar pony!

 

[Standards Equine]

My lord, I FINALLY got to drive today. Took Jazzy out for an hour. It was a blast!

 

[MaryFlora]

Beautiful! It is one of those photos that pulls you in with the road ahead.

Even from the back, Jazzy’s head and ears seem to indicate she is enjoying herself!

 

[Marsha Cassada]

Your color coordinated tack is amazing. The blue against the white snow looks like a Christmas card.

 

[Marsha Cassada]

And is she wearing bells?

 

[Standards Equine]

And is she wearing bells?

You bet! I have a string of bells for her and one for Falcor. Phillippe wears a pair of bells on his hips all year round. In the summer, he sounds like an ice cream cart!

I have bells, too, but they sort of make me crazy with the jingling. So I use them infrequently. This reminds me I need to get them out for Billy.

 

[Standards Equine]

Falcor out for 45 minutes this afternoon.
