I recently found this forum and joined about a week ago. Im not a frequent poster but I enjoy reading everyones posts and seeing all the photos. There are so many beautiful ponies and minis here, I just have to say I am in awe!! Im a new pony owner, although I have had regular sized horses for many years. I got my first pony about a month ago, Im not sure he's actually a mini, but he is 36" high at the withers and has more pony features than mini features so Im calling him a pony. He's a bay Shetland type, 5 years old and although I was told he is trained to drive, I'm not taking thir word for it until I actually have him in harness and working. First attempts at bridling him were a disaster, with rearing up and fighting all the way. Hoping its just a tooth issue and not a training issue, as he is easy to handle otherwise and hasnt given me trouble with anything except the bridle. The vet is coming out next week to do spring shots so the teeth will be examined then. At any rate, I have an Easy Entry cart and pleasure harness waiting for him when he's given the all clear. Currently, I also have 2 Standardbreds that I ride and pleasure drive.
Looking forward to sharing experiences and learning from other pony/mini fanciers here!
