Drivin' Thru 2022

Hey HM, why don’t you drive? Do you wanna drive? Your horses would be so AWESOME and soooo BEAUTIFUL pulling a cart? You could train them?

I'm worried about training me!!

I'm worried about training me!!

If your horse is nice, you should be fine. It does help to have someone at first who knows a little more than you do. I got caught up in rigid training at first becasue I thought I was supposed to. It spoiled some of the fun for my horse and me. That just isn't ME. And it certainly was not Dapper Dan! We like to drive casually and I just need my horse know some rudimentary politeness in harness. When I thought more was expected of us, it wasn't fun anymore.
Just start out for pleasure, and if you find you want to get more disciplined, then move up.

Thank you Marsha

What a smart-looking little! Love the red on a black horse. I sure wish it was easier to get wheels like yours up here in Canada. So far I've only seen import options that I'll have to part with a kidney (at least) for!

We are doing the John Wayne trail so lots of mileage! Also want to be ready for our shows and our first CDE in July

Rocket and I did 36 min today on the track
