Shae, .....I will share with you that there was a time in my life, that I trained, drove and showed a few of my own harness horses. I was better with driving then riding. If you still have Buzz in the fall, buy him a set of sleigh bells and take him out on country drives. You will be amazed how the horse/pony dials into the cadence/rhythm of the bells and your road adventure takes on a whole new level. Watching this video brought back a flood of happy memories. I'm old now, ... but if I ever won the lottery, and could afford a country cottage with a few acres, I would shop for a driving pony and take myself and my puppy out for a spin. I'm disabled handicapped, mostly homebound, but I could still sit my butt in a pony cart. Actually, it would make a good therapy program for disabled veterans and handicapped children/people. Need to buy that winning lottery ticket first! LOL😅 - ACD p.s. you, kyle and buzz looked grrrrreat!
that pony has *definitely* driven before (note: i commented this before i saw the part of the video where your friend confirmed that he was definitely broke to drive)! i spent about 8-10 months along side my instructor training a small handful of horses where i ride, some of whom had not driving background. the only ones we could put all the equipment on and hook up, right off the bat, were those who had driven before. those who had not driven before had to be slowly introduced to the cart congratulations on having effectively a "jack of all trades" pony!!!!
Looks like you hit the jackpot with that pony. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. I've had horses for over 50 years but never ventured into the driving realm. You'll have SO much fun with Buzz.
He was probably wondering when he'd get to do that again. I'm sure it's harder on them when they change hands in a way where the new family doesn't know their past. I'm so glad you took him to find out!
congrats on buzz he such a gem of a pony but I don't know if u noticed but hes gone lame on one of his back legs. At the start when u went slow Mo his hock sliped he might have an old injury in his hip or something but just wanted to Let u know just incase u didn't see xx congrats hes and amazing pony xx
What a fun experience! He looks likes such a natural and responding so well. Such a nice add to his repertoire. This is what Free Spirit is about. Not just the horse/pony learning but what they can teach us ❤️
I love the variety of activities in your channel! It was fun to learn about driving a cart and seeing Buzz a willing and able little pony. So cute!! You made a wise purchase with Buzz. 👏
You sure have a great pony Buzz he is so sweet, smart and responsive to his first time. I hope your husband will be happy to see what a great boy he is.
Shae Buzz handled that like a champ!!! You should be very proud of him!!! Not all riding ponies handle being hooked in harness!! But Buzz did great!!! So glad to see Kyle getting to drive him!!🐴💞😍
I think Buzz was a driving pony that took to saddle. 😃 Regardless, like you said Linda, Buzz did great and handled everything like a Champ!! 🥇 🐎 I can't wait to see more driving videos.
Wow!!!! Buzz is awesome!!! You really surprised me, not having ponies in your program…but he is so talented and sweet! I bet he has made some big friends🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is my first time meeting Mr Buzz. As a child, I always wanted a pony and cart. Buzz looks so handsome harnessed up and pulling the cart and both you and Kyle looked regal in the driver's seat! Thanks for sharing this special day with us!
What a fun day for you both. I would just have one word of caution (you can check with the man who sold you the cart). Always remove the cart first after you finish driving if the pony is used to wearing blinders as part of the harness. I once took off the bridle from my horse while she was still hitched to the cart with disastrous results. Like I say, you can check out this bit of advice with your friend to get another opinion. While Buzz apparently has been driven before, you do not know whether or not he was always wearing blinders. Good luck to Kyle with his driving.
This is the number 2 rule of safe driving. The #1 rule is have control of the reins at all times. If anything startled the equine during hitching or unhitching the reins are the only hope you have of preventing an animal bolting with the cart attached to him.
@@junebyrne4491 driving is much more dangerous than riding. You have less control and the damage done by a runaway harness horse attached to a cart can be considerable.
Good boy, Buzz, good boy! He stops when he's asked to, and when the cart keeps going and hits him in the rear he doesn't get upset, that's a very very good boy! Most horses, in harness or under saddle, would freak out when something runs into their hind end. Traffic on the road didn't bother him, either. That surprised me because those vehicles were pretty close and going at a good clip. The nice aspect of a four wheel cart is that it's more stable, resulting in a smoother ride for the passengers, and four contacts with the ground takes weight off the pony. Enjoy your new "hobby."
Thankyou shae for takeing us along with you to see if bud could drive I use to do driving I loved it the little pony I drove name was Chelsea bless her she is no longer with us
buzz is in pretty good shape I've seen so many overweight ponies and I just wanted to say whatever your doing with him to keep him in shape is working he looks a lot better from when you first got him
He's an old pro. 😂 He's pretty experienced. Green horses tend to weave from side to side until they get used to things. You can buckle and unbuckle the lines to/from the headstall and loop around your arm so they don't drag. Seeing that mess on the ground gave me heart failure. 😁 There's also a way to tie up the traces. I loved the peanut gallery you guys had!
So cool.. I loved watching buzz trot in the yard with you, it made me smile big time -ha ha. What a great video. All your training and hard work made him such a lovely pony⭐️
Waww Buzz Is such a good boy! I'm so impressed with both of you! Him already knowing how to drive and also starting to learn riding and you also learning how to drive that's soo cool! I love your videos I've been waching you since you only had like 17 000 subscribers and know only like some weeks later I'm so happy for you and you really deserve it all!🥰🤩🤗❤
What a good boy! I’d take off the overcheck, though. It looks like he can’t drop his head level and lean into the breast collar for proper draft. This is why he seems to be struggling a bit, especially when starting up from a stop. But what a patient pony to be so kind dealing with that!
This is the first time I saw this delightful clip of Buzz. Kinda sad to know he isn’t with you any longer. He was an absolute gorgeous pony to have as part of the family. ❤
@@freespiritequestrian Yes, i saw that. I only meant that i was going to ask about seeing him drive Buzz in later videos. But then I read that Buzz had been sold. Apologies for the confusion. 😌
I would love to be able to afford a pony or horse trained to drive. Buzz is so cute. Can't wait to see more of him. Kyle's doing really good. I like the color on him. That's a good color for him.
Awesome! Now you have a driving equine in your barn! Just a few suggestions. Dont use the overcheck on the harness. As you can see you cant drop his head. Also carry a driving whip. The whip takes place of a person's legs. One more suggestion, try a solid mouth piece bit.
A testimony of how good care, feed and training can make all the difference in the world! Just look at the first picture of Buzz and now! Good job, Lucky Buzz!
Buzz is very comfortable in the carriage, i noticed that his harness was slipped on his back. Thats a bit dangerous because youre cart will touch hiss back legs. I am from Holland, its difficault to explain. I am driving with my 1.70m frisian horse 😊
Shae and Ryan -- What FUN! Buzzy was a real pro from the get-go wasn't he?! Ryan, you looked great "driving" your pony. Shae, you learned the how-to quickly, too. Both of you had such fun and I thing so did Buzzy Bee! Wahoo! 🤠🐴❣
YAY BUZZ!!! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 I’ve gotta say- I’m so glad your friend said something about Buzz ‘hanging out’ 🤣🤣🤣! I’ve noticed that all along- how he really loves to just hang low and swing! So funny!😝
Thank you for that short education on the cart and Buzz lightyear. Buzz was so great for that first time to be hooked up and pulling the cart! That tells me that you guys are really relating in kindness and care to your charges. I love how you open your heart to horses at auctions but at the same time remember your obligations at present! Since you are actually a teacher at heart i applaud your valuable lessons you are passing on to the less experienced enthusiasts! God bless Kyle and You together!❤❤
He is adorable. Miss driving my Welsh/Arab x. Use to show in hand and drive had such an awesome time met a lot of great people at the LMHA shows. Sadly due to my lower back issues, had to get out of horses. Enjoy watching the auction videos and other videos.
Super video, I’m so envious I always wanted to have a pony like buzz and a cart, we did have hacks, 15.2 and over ❤ that’s going to be marvellous fun with darling buzz, he’s a gem. Must forward this to my daughter, she will fall in love like I have. You so deserve this wonderful wonderful life . Xxx

I can picture Shae and Kyle driving Buzz with a set of sleighbells walking to the cadence of the bells at Christmas time.
that pony has *definitely* driven before (note: i commented this before i saw the part of the video where your friend confirmed that he was definitely broke to drive)! i spent about 8-10 months along side my instructor training a small handful of horses where i ride, some of whom had not driving background. the only ones we could put all the equipment on and hook up, right off the bat, were those who had driven before. those who had not driven before had to be slowly introduced to the cart
congratulations on having effectively a "jack of all trades" pony!!!!
Yes he has! That was our whole point is to see if he’s been driven before.
I’m so proud of Buzz!! He did great!! 💛💛💛
Congrats
Looks like you hit the jackpot with that pony. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. I've had horses for over 50 years but never ventured into the driving realm. You'll have SO much fun with Buzz.
What a great friend, to help you with learning how to drive and seeing if your pony was able to drive - so happy for you guys😀
What a gem of pony... Good boy Buzz ❤️❤️❤️❤️
GOOD BOY BUZZ!! He's such a great pony! Love to you, Kyle and Buzz for taking us along with you!❤❤❤
He was probably wondering when he'd get to do that again. I'm sure it's harder on them when they change hands in a way where the new family doesn't know their past. I'm so glad you took him to find out!
What a little star Buzz is, you’re going to have so much fun with him with his little cart :)
Yay and Congratulations you now have an all around pony that you both can have fun with. 👍♥️🐴😁🎉🎊
congrats on buzz he such a gem of a pony but I don't know if u noticed but hes gone lame on one of his back legs. At the start when u went slow Mo his hock sliped he might have an old injury in his hip or something but just wanted to Let u know just incase u didn't see xx congrats hes and amazing pony xx
What a cutie, little Buzz. A perfect little driving pony, so happy for Kyle.
What a fun experience! He looks likes such a natural and responding so well. Such a nice add to his repertoire. This is what Free Spirit is about. Not just the horse/pony learning but what they can teach us ❤️
I smiled all the way through this video, Buzz really looked like "oh I know this!! This is fun🎉" it was so nice to see, you are such a nice trainer❤❤❤
I love the variety of activities in your channel! It was fun to learn about driving a cart and seeing Buzz a willing and able little pony. So cute!! You made a wise purchase with Buzz. 👏

Drivers Ed. Nice job Buzzie. Good pick, Kyle.
Oh my goodness your husband is so handsome you're a very lucky lady
Thank you 💖

He's a natural! Way to go Buzz👏👏👏👏
I can imagine on a hot day Buzz just chillen in the trough
Buzz looked so cute all tacked up for driving. I bet it won't be long before he has a straw hat with flowers on it too.
Haha!
What a fun day for you both. I would just have one word of caution (you can check with the man who sold you the cart).

Adorable ❤❤❤❤
What was weird was my Shetland hated the blinkers and would pull the cart perfectly without them.
That pony is adorable!!! Kyle, this is your time to shine! 😊
I was so stoked to see Buzz being driven, I'm ex 4-H leader and pony cart driving owner. Had 2 2-wheel carts trained several ponies to cart.😊
Buzz is such a cutie!
Go Buzz, you are a wonderful driving pony!
Good boy, Buzz, good boy! He stops when he's asked to, and when the cart keeps going and hits him in the rear he doesn't get upset, that's a very very good boy!

Wow!! What a talented little pony. And how great to have such a nice friend!
Mushu and the hose, though. He is so inquisitive. I love him xx
Way to go Buzz ❤ ! I love his little horsey audience watching seeming to cheer their stable mate on so sweet and so stinking cute 🥰
Oh yea, Buzz is a Star.
What a champ you are, Buzzyboy!!
This little guy continues to impress and amaze! I did see Kyle smiling, that's great that he too was having fun😁.
OMG! Buzz loved his new job! The best!
He's so talented! Great way to help keep the pony tendency to chonkiness under control too
Yes lol
Thankyou shae for takeing us along with you to see if bud could drive I use to do driving I loved it the little pony I drove name was Chelsea bless her she is no longer with us
How lovely! I’m sorry she’s not here any more but I’m glad you treasure her.
What a gem! He just keeps getting better and better!
🥰
You have a good friend and neighbor to show you the ropes with Buzz.
buzz is in pretty good shape I've seen so many overweight ponies and I just wanted to say whatever your doing with him to keep him in shape is working he looks a lot better from when you first got him
Yes we make sure to exercise and not over feed him while still giving him 24/7 forage :).
Oh my gosh! Little Buzz looked so, so cute 🎉🎉💕
Buzz earned his keep today, what a joy and that gentleman was so informative and hepful. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Perfect color harness for his coloring. Love it!😍😍
He's an old pro. 😂 He's pretty experienced. Green horses tend to weave from side to side until they get used to things. You can buckle and unbuckle the lines to/from the headstall and loop around your arm so they don't drag. Seeing that mess on the ground gave me heart failure. 😁 There's also a way to tie up the traces.
I loved the peanut gallery you guys had!
Hahaha! Yes I agree :)
So cool.. I loved watching buzz trot in the yard with you, it made me smile big time -ha ha. What a great video. All your training and hard work made him such a lovely pony⭐️
Awesome Buzz, wow what a great lad you are. Love Love Love the colour of the harness, he looks STUNNING
I loved the color too! 🩵
Buzz did good. Yay buzz light year.
So much fun! Little Buzz is such a sweet boy. You guys are going to have so many adventures driving him. 🥕
Driving is so much fun! Buzz looks great in the teal!
Waww Buzz Is such a good boy! I'm so impressed with both of you! Him already knowing how to drive and also starting to learn riding and you also learning how to drive that's soo cool!

How awesome and exciting for you and Kyle. LITTLE BUZZ...YOU'RE THE BOMB!
What a great little pony Buzz is Shae, you and Kyle are going to have so much fun driving him, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
That is awesome! He is a fabulous, well-minded pony! ❤
he makes it look so easy nice you both enjoyed it seems like it would be hard to give that up
Wow what a perfect little pony . it-was beautiful watching you on . the green.
What a good boy! I’d take off the overcheck, though. It looks like he can’t drop his head level and lean into the breast collar for proper draft. This is why he seems to be struggling a bit, especially when starting up from a stop. But what a patient pony to be so kind dealing with that!
Exactly, I would try it without overcheck too.
Plus the breast collar seems to sit just a little too high IMHO.
This is the first time I saw this delightful clip of Buzz. Kinda sad to know he isn’t with you any longer. He was an absolute gorgeous pony to have as part of the family. ❤
It’s not sad he’s with a lovely family. He now has a wonderful home.
@@freespiritequestrian I'm a newcomer to the channel, and was going to ask why there are no videos of Kyle driving Buzz...
@@Kim-lc3fv Kyle is driving him in this video what do you mean?
@@freespiritequestrian Yes, i saw that. I only meant that i was going to ask about seeing him drive Buzz in later videos. But then I read that Buzz had been sold.
Apologies for the confusion. 😌
You G0 B0Y!! ~ Buzz

What a great pony and he has good road manners. Good job, Buzz.
Thanks!
I would love to be able to afford a pony or horse trained to drive. Buzz is so cute. Can't wait to see more of him. Kyle's doing really good. I like the color on him. That's a good color for him.
Buzz is the man! I think he’s Kyle’s favorite buddy.
2 cookie for the little big guy, yay Buzz. How fun. Tfs
Buzz is so cute! His next owner is going to be so lucky to have him.
Buzz Lightyear, that was very pro!
So dang cute. Hope buzzy is living his best life in his new home.
Buzz looks wonderful!
Oh, Buzzy ( AKA Walter), you are so perfect!!! I like him all fuzzy and fluffy, but he cleaned up really well.
Buzz is so good! I just love him so much

Sweet baby Buzz
How fun! Buzz looks right at home in front of the cart. Can't wait to see him pull his own cart in the Fourth of July Parade. 😄
