I wanted to share my next adventure

[Shortpig]

Wow, Erin!

I think Chip will make an awesome driving horse!

We need you to join the local miniature horse driving posse.

Soon we will need to get matching jackets or something.

Daryl

Wow! Now all we need is for Flash to get gelded and trained and what a group pic we could get. Jimmy, Koda, Chip, and Flash all driving together. I see a race down the beach.

I wonder who would win that race?

Not meaning to leave you out Daryl. I just thought it would be an awesome video with the four of them. Jimmy and his sons all together driving.

I was thinking that I could be driving Dancer up ahead, just out of photo range, as an incentive for the group.

Then I remembered that I would be BEHIND Dancer in the Hyperbike, so if Jimmy caught up to us...let's just say we would probably exceed the rated capacity of the Hyperbike.

LOL ... Well Chip may have lost his marbles, or should I say oranges (trust me, they weren't no marbles haha) but he hasnt lost him ummm...drive? Put Dancer up ahead and he might just give his dear ol' daddy a run for his money

Mingus.

(You don't really think he would stand for others racing without HIM?)

 

[susanne]

Seriously, though...

I've talked for some time about expanding the Beachdrivers group into a more general driving group, including trail drives, winter arena driving nights, "mini games" and harness racing.

With all the new driving horses in our area (and with those STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to come join us from afar), I really need to get busy turning this into reality.

........................

...AND...

I need to get Flash gelded -- as good as he is, I wouldn't ask him to try to remain "on task" so long as his oranges are still hanging from the tree.

Then there's Scarlet, who trots like a dream and runs like a racehorse...

You can have your group photo...Turbo and Kody and I will thoughtfully stay out of the way- waaaay up ahead!!

He's not named "Turbo" for nothing and Kody's not about to let him win!

Mingus, Lolly and Dancer have longer legs but not a prayer in the world of catching up with Team Double Trouble when they're on the run.

All the more reason for harness racing...we'll wait and put our money where our mouths are (or is that just my mouth? Mingus would rather use his to eat.)

To date, you've only seen a fraction of how fast Mingus can trot, even pulling the fat woman in a heavier cart.

Remember, he caught the cantering big horses without breaking out of his trot, and with both Keith and me in the cart.

I love feeling the wind rush through the holes in my head...

 

[hobbyhorse23]

:rofl

Trot? Who said anything about TROT?! I've never questioned that the big kids (and most littler kids, too) can out-trot Kody at least. That is not his specialty. But I stick to my claim that at a motivated run (and with Turbo beside him the motivation is intrinsic

) that boy will keep his nose in front of just about anybody by sheer will alone!

Gotta love my redhead.

No doubt in my mind that Jimmy will be at the back of the pack. That's ok. He doesn't like wasting energy on unncessary things. Smart boy there! But he will look pretty doing it.

As far as longer legs and keeping up with the trotters I have to admit best chance is Chip.

Daryl you have made a great point. Best you stay in the back with Lolly. Behind Jimmy.

The best part about training Koda to drive is he will be able to drive with Jimmy. Haul with Jimmy. So Vicky and I can load both and go somewhere to drive. I guess I should start thinking about buying another new cart so we have two to use. That way Vicky and I won't get into a brawl over who gets the cart with a padded seat. It would be great also if they had matching harnesses.

Wow! Maybe we could convince Dorothy and Ron to come down once and bring The Duck. That would be fun.

 

[Shortpig]

You'd best be careful, Marie. They may try to add one more to their stable.

I'm feeling safer now. Dorothy says her barn is full. No room for Koda.
