    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!!!!

  • @marymcclavey8395
    @marymcclavey8395 Год назад +11

    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.

      @sactopyrshep Год назад +1

      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.

    • @sactopyrshep
      @sactopyrshep Год назад +2

      @@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.

    @conniewojahn6445 Год назад +2

    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."

    @MiniMeadowEquestrian Год назад +4

    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!

    • @LaMancha958
      @LaMancha958 Год назад +1

      Exactly, I would try it without overcheck too.
      Plus the breast collar seems to sit just a little too high IMHO.

    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.

    Hey Shae, I have absolutely none, zero, experience with horses and less with driving them and the wagons! But it concerned me the way the wagon is build! The two bars on the side of Buzz looked frighteningly close to his head and shoulder and a few times it looked like it got stuck in the harness, and close to hit him on the shoulder. Again, I have no experience but just a concern that I needed to say out 'loud'.
    Though I'm an 'old' danish viewer I love watching you and your family! I mean it when I say you are Mother Theresa for horses (hope it makes sense in English)! What goes straight to my heart is, that you repeat many things through out the videos, which tells me that you know what you're talking about and that it comes from your heart and not your knowledge alone! It's difficult to explain exactly what I mean in a foreign language, but hopefully it makes sense! Lots of hugs from Denmark! 🇺🇲🫶🇩🇰

    Enjoyed watching Buzz pull the cart. Buzz was so calm. It looks like you guys had a good time. Pretty cool. Seeing the whole process.
