Get Hitched! 2025 Driving hours

[Standards Equine]

Oh my goodness! Way to use the cart in the winter!

All 3 of our carts have skis. Plus we have a calf-sled with shafts I refer to as the Toboggan. We have winter for 6 months. If we didn't adapt, we wouldn't drive!

Hi Cayuse, I did walking miles…HersheyMint.

Cayuse, I thank you for the mention but, I needn't be included. I just posted a couple of times while trying to figure out this ground driving thing. I wasn't really doing it in earnest like the other participants. I would love it, if you could explain to me exactly what the posting of the driving hours is all about. Starting this spring I hope to start ground driving more often and post my hours/miles.

Catching up on the 2024 weather diary and saw I noted 30 miles for Billy on the sulky odometer in October. Haven't driven him since, but I think that is quite good for the year!

Thank you @Cayuse for doing the awards! Last year I won 3 belt buckles and oodles of ribbons. I kept my belt buckles (my trophies!) but the only ribbon I kept outside of that was my Mini Horse Forums ribbon! It, and the lovely plaque, are hung up in my tack room.

We started posting our driving hours several years ago as a way to support and motivate each other to get out and drive. Then @Cayuse decided to reward us all for our efforts with ribbons every year. Because she is one of the most wonderful humans I've had the pleasure of getting to know.

It's fun to see how many hours we can get individually but also as a driving club. This has been really great for several of us who don't have driving clubs close by. This is our virtual club It's also a fun way to share our adventures and connect in a positive drama free way with other people. Heaven knows we all need genuine encouragement and drama free space in our lives.

Looking forward to hearing about how you get along in your driving adventures this year.

This group has certainly motivated me to drive! Hopefully I can get Rusty ground driving and share our adventures.
