- Been looking at the CDE events and trying to learn more about the driving events. I think it sure looks like fun and much more interesting than show ring driving. I have been ground driving alot and have hooked my mini for the first few times with no problems. I plan to add some obstacles and try that class sometime. Are there any good websites or books you would recommend?

- Kathy, I would love to buy Knicky. I think he is just sooo cute. I may be selling one of my guys and that would make room. If that happens I will let you know! Keep me posted on his progress. I probably wouldn't drive the little guy to much, but it is nice to have them trained anyway. My real little ones all took to driving in a day! They don't seem to mind anything! LOL

- Kathy, Hi! I really shouldn't buy another horse at this time. Sometimes when I see pictures like little knicky's it is so tempting, he is just adorable. I also do like the gelding with the flaxen mane and tail.
Thanks for posting all the pictures of them and if I do decide to get another one, I will let you know!

- Kathy HI! I was wondering if Knicky's mouth is straight? and does he have anything to indicate that he may be a dwarf? He is very very cute!!!

- Just wanted to say HI! I got your e-mail that you had sold the mini that looked like my guy. I am actually thinking of teaming up my liver chestnut instead. So if you know of a BOMBPROOF lol! 34 inch liver chestnut- chocolate gelding for sale let me know. Somehow I think that won't be easy to find. Did you see the video I put on here of our driving club? We had a blast that day.

a memory is the only thing we can truly take with us when its all said and done
memories. I got my mare in 1968 , she was 4 yrs old and on TV as the last horse across the Texas boarder that was closed down due to the VEE epidemic. She was a dirrect daughter of 3 Bar. Cute little buckskin mare. The first horse I bought with my own $. I showed her for years. Roped on her for 2 years to pay the bills, trick rode on her and roman rode on her with her son when he was 5. I bought another horse to trick ride on to take to the orient in 1973 as I needed a black and white. But once… Continue

Tryon N.C. HDT event , driving the VSEs
Well, we got home . Long weekend, the boys did great. We had some trouble in the dressage as it was in deep sand and the carraige was pretty bogged down. It was the hardest dressage test we have ever done. Because of the sand. But they did their best. Still got a 72. We did the obsticals great , clean and under time. We did marathon with time to spare also. One diviation for a few penalties but otherwise fantastic, so it was just my fault . We took home second in our division. A good go for all.… Continue
