Drive Me Buggy 2020 Hours

[MajorClementine]

Still alive! So sorry things have been a bit crazy around here but not in bad ways. With the pandemic and spring at the same time we've been using this "stay home" time to get some projects done. I hope everyone is staying healthy and happy. I'll update hours tonight I promise

Okay hours updated. Sorry I've been such a slacker.

45 minutes driving PB on 3/24. He's young but smart and willing. We did a lot of water crossing.

What are you doing up in the middle of the night? Taking care of Baby? Finding a little quiet time when you can?
Thanks for looking out for us.

Finding a little quiet time for sure. I'm always torn between going to bed when Bill goes to bed or staying up and having a little "me" time.

Drove Annie 45 minutes today.

We built a driving bridge in our training area and she went right over it without hesitating!

[Willow Flats]

50 minutes driving Annie today.

We have some new neighboring horses and they are fascinated with the small horse and her cart!

 

[Willow Flats]

45 minutes driving Annie today.

My husband drove her for about 15 minutes too. I'll post more on "My Drive Day" section.

 

[Marsha Cassada]

57 minutesdriving Midnight .

 

[Willow Flats]

40 minutes driving Annie today.

We worked on standing too and she is a lot more relaxed, even resting her back foot which is new for her.

Looks like I better catch up my time! We haven't done a ton because of the weather. Both because it was too cold and windy and miserable and then it suddenly got very hot which effected the minis in their heavy winter coats. LOL! Clearly I am not easy to please

March 28th - 30 minutes ground driving
April 5th - 150 minutes ground driving
April 8th - 120 minutes ground driving
April 17th - 90 minutes ground driving
April 20th - 90 minutes ground driving
April 21st - 30 minutes ground driving (this day was pretty hot and Zorro had the runs so we kept it short.)

They are trace clipped so we are ready for these sunny days! I'm hoping for a nice long walk today!

I have been ground driving Zorro and Sky wears her back pack and brings my water along.

20 minutes ground driving Peanut.
I started him on magnesium as he always looks "tight" across his topline/loin area and I think it has started to make a difference. He warmed up quick and his stride looked either a bit longer or smoother, maybe a little of both.
It was very nice to get out and walk with him. He's my bud

 

[MindySchroder]

We had a lovely walk today! 120 minutes

 

[Willow Flats]

Drove Annie for 60 minutes today.

It got hot here so I clipped her after we were done, and she did really well with the clippers.

 

[Marsha Cassada]

50 minutes for Dapper Dan. Sometimes he is feisty and sometimes a sloth. Today was sloth day. I never know if he is just a lazy bones or if he feels his age.

 

[MindySchroder]

60 minutes driving Zorro in the cart today! We had a very nice time

 

[Willow Flats]

30 minutes ground driving Kriss Kross.

Starting to work with him again, and will see how he does. Details on Your drive day.

 

[MindySchroder]

Zorro had 120 minutes of ground driving today. I ponied Sky along behind It was a loooong uphill walk. I'm pretty tired tonight. Clearly I need to get in better shape! LOL!

 

[MajorClementine]

All caught up! I gotta say, I'm impressed with the amount of ground driving Mindy has done. How many miles have you walked???

My minis got back yesterday so fingers crossed I'll get some driving time in... If the baby will let me that is.

By my calculations I've walked about 50 miles this year So far so good!!

Cayuse,
Are you using the Mag-Restore? I've been using that with Kriss, and am getting low so time to reorder, but the shipping is $14. which has made me want to seek an alternative. Wondering what others have used or are using with success. I can afford it, I just like to be thrifty if I have a choice!
