Who needs another mini?

[MajorClementine]

Okay I'm overwhelmed and at a breaking point. If anyone is looking for a driving mini I have 3 that must go. One Mare that will make a great CDE horse for an experienced driver. Two geldings that are easy drivers and go well single or as a team. I'm in Utah but always up for a road trip. I just want good homes for them because rehoming an animal is almost impossible for me which is why I have 7 minis. I just can't drive them all and they are not meeting their potential here.

I wish I could have one but I can’t.. hope you find someone to give them a good home

I’m sorry you are feeling so overwhelmed. It’s a tough place to be, I know from recent experience how exhausting everything can become. I hope you are able to change your daily routine enough to give yourself adequate rest.

I’ve enjoyed reading your posts over the years. Anyone blessed to obtain one of your ponies will not be disappointed!

I wish too, but I think 3 is my magic number. You’ll find them good homes

What does CDE mean?

 

[MajorClementine]

Combined Driving event
It consists of a marathon obstacle course, driven dressage, and a cones course.

My little mare has get up and go and would thrive doing events but is not a beginner horse. She's not dangerous but she's smart and stubborn which can frustrate even seasoned drivers.

Maybe @HersheyMint NEEDS a driving pony??

I purchased a mini today to be a part of my little herd. I will have Cooper trailered back to the rescue center that he came from and on the same day and at the same time, have the new one trailered to home. I'm actually trying to say this often, so I get use to it happening. Anyway, this horse drives and I've been told is very good. I've never really driven a horse, don't even know if that's the correct terminology, but I'm going to give it a go. Perhaps you should as well.

Oh how exciting @1roadtoad ! You will have a blast driving! It is sooooo much fun! Can’t wait till you get the newbie and can’t wait to see pics of you driving your new baby! I agree, y’all both should give driving a go


So glad to hear you made a decision on Cooper, your life will be so much easier and I am sure you will feel relieved. Try not to worry too much about him, he will eventually find his person!

With tears in my eyes thank you with regard to my decision about Cooper. I'll try to move forward and not worry about him too much, but I will keep tabs on him at the rescue, if I can. I really care about him.
Once I get my new horse home, I'll let him settled in. Once settled I'll have the trainer check out his driving skills. If he's as good or competent as the seller says he is, I guess I'll take some driving lessons. It's hard to get excited about the new horse with my sadness about Cooper. It is taking away from considering possibilities with the new guy, but I'll get there.

Hello! I am casually looking for a driving mini. I am brand new to driving so I would need a mini that is seasoned in driving. I am in PA. Let me know if you want to discuss.

 

[MajorClementine]

I think I have a little guy that might be good for you. He's not "seasoned" as far as having tons of miles but he's an easy and non-reactive guy who is super willing and easy going.

Thank you! Where are you located? Feel free to email me at [email protected]

Hi Major Clementine and Klfvmd,
Just curious. Did you both connect? Does your mini have a new home?

 

[klfvmd]

Hi! No we didn’t connect.

 

[MajorClementine]

Hey I just saw your DM. Sorry we are super busy around here trying to build a new house and barn. I sent a message back. Let me know if you want more info. THanks!!

 

[MajorClementine]

This is Blue. I can't find a pic of him hitched but I can get one if you want.



This is Wally. In the second photo he has his face shaved so he looks kinda funny.

Thanks! Where in UT are you? I’m located in PA.
