So life has its way of sometimes getting away from ya...and driving Magic had been put on the back burner. I hadn't driven him in over a year, until today. He hitched up and drove off like he's been driving regularly in all that time! What makes it feel even better is that I did the training on him myself.
Did a lot of ground driving with just the harness first today, just to make sure, then the empty cart, before getting in...but he just did his job like he's been doing it every day. Was a very short drive, as he's out of shape and didn't want him to get too tuckered out! But he sure got treats and lovin's after that! If I didn't have my hands full...I'd have taken some pics. That little boy looks so handsome...I did take some pics later today of all of my critters....just not in harness.
My project for this year is my 40" grullo pony gelding, Merlin. He's 3 this year....but I'd like to get him started ground driving, as I'd like to drive him some day too! Gonna look mighty sharp in front of that cart, he will!
The minds of these boys....... Magic is the first mini I ever bought. Bought him because he was A)really cheap and available, and close by, and B) because my son, I thought, would have fun with a little horse his size at the time. Little did I know that one mini was going to turn into having 5 of the little beggers, and selling off a bunch of big horses! =)
