Drivin' Thru 2022

[Stripe13]

When you are on your long drives of 2 hours, are you alone? What is your destination/route?

Normally we’re doing lots of arena driving and working on obstacles! I have a huge arena that I drive in so I have plenty of room. I also drive down the road and back quite often. As a warm up/cool down

May I have Your Attention Please! I've got ribbons! They arrived yesterday. So, if you drove or walked fairly consistently last year let me know your address and I'll mail one out to you

Super light ground driving with Melody for about 5 minutes. Today was her first “official” time practicing driving, and she did great! Just clipped two leads to her halter and walked by her haunch with her in front of me. She was a bit confused at first since I’ve worked really hard on her staying right with me when walking, but eventually she figured it out. She won’t be doing any hooked up driving until she’s 4, but I can definitely practice with a halter in the meantime!

I'm impressed that you could ground drive her and take a photo! What a good girl!

I was really impressed too! She seemed to take right to it, she’s definitely following in her dad’s footsteps! She’s going to make a great driving horse someday

30 minutes for Rocko

We had a lesson today to see how we are doing. It has been forever! We did pretty good I think except he kept breaking into canter from the trot and I should be catching that sooner.

2 hours driving Annie today!

We had company and I gave rides with Annie. This cute little girl wanted to go over the bridge about 100 times! It was so much fun and Annie was so good. She got a few breaks where she was really happy to stand but she really earned her keep today. I love Annie's cart. It was so comfortable!
