Well done Maureen! I drove by RCRA on Saturday and thought of you - I had seen you post that you'd be there. Congrats!
Jennifer Moore commented on Roxy's group 'Calling all drivers!'
Lanie, have you tried the Drive Ontario online classifieds? Just a thought.
Frances, good for you guys! Sounds like enough to make me antsy too, lol.
I would love to find an inexpensive but decent training-type cart for my guy so…
Jennifer Moore replied to Leida Wales's discussion 'Training Carts' in the group Calling all drivers!
Disclaimer - I am a total newbie driver. :-) However, I was strongly cautioned against those carts by more experienced drivers because they are so light and can flip. No idea how true this is and presumably there are folks out there…

Yikes, Debra, that all sounds rather scary! Glad Tattoo slowed once Che was with him. I have to say as a new driver that I myself still feel much more comfortable and in control while *on* a horse, rather than behind it. Having one…

Thanks Frances - the cutter was a Christmas pressie from my hubby, along with the horse. And the harness. LOL. I got the cutter from a fellow in Quebec who refurbishes old vehicles and sells them - Ken Townsend of Townsend…

OMG!!What a beautiful cutter!!! The whole picture looks just lovely.
Where did you get the cutter?
Are there hold-backs on the shafts? The shafts look as if they should be dropped down a bit. They should be in line with the traces.
PS…

WOOT!!!!! Well, a friend and I twiddled around and got the gelding's new harness adjusted on him yesterday and made some changes, and then I line drove him. Today, we put him to the cutter and I drove him for the first time -…

Good job Lanie. Now you've inspired me - I WILL get out and get my boy's harness all adjusted and get him hooked up in the next week. Just waiting on my eyes to settle down a bit as I had LASIK surgery on Friday.
I do…

Thanks, Frances! Oh, don't worry, I've looked at the vehicles on the Drive Ontario site LOTS this past week, lol. I got my harness from Doug Lillycrop at SummitView Carriage - I think he's with Tri-County Carriage…

Can't wait to see photos of you and your new horse driving!!!
Jennifer Moore commented on Roxy's group 'Calling all drivers!'
Well, I got my harness yesterday - yippee!!! So I figure if I play around with it for the next week or so I'll eventually get all the straps where they belong and get everything adjusted correctly, lol. Then I can line drive him a…

- Good Morning Jennifer,
We do not train horses for driving, my invitation was merely social. As far as a trainer goes, I have heard great things about Jeff Kohler but have never met him. I have taken lessons with Kirstn Brunner who is about an hour or so south of you in Erin. She and her husband David, ( who trains the horses) are exceptional trainers. Kirsten is extremely accomplished herself and has students who have excelled in driving and riding. Don't know about prices there.
As far as training for driving is concerned it is essential that you get the horse trained by someone who knows driving. Its far too risky to try to do it yourself no matter how good a rider you are.
Yess we have Canadians and we love them. Our mare is for sale ( Kharma) but she is a very forward horse ideal for combined driving and she needs an experienced driver,. If you are planning a trip east of Toronto, please consider giving us a call and stopping by!
Chhers,
Frances

- Hi Jennifer, I see you are sending your horse for training this winter. If you are planning to come east of Toronto, please consider giving us a call and stopping by. We are located 1 hour east of Toronto and always welcome visitors. We just got back frm a delightful evening drive!

Alison Plumbtree said… - You'll have a lot of fun at Relhok. Jeff is a great teacher and he knows a lot. Combined driving is a lot of fun (though I don't drive, I only navigate in the combined shows. I only drive in the pleasure shows...for now!).

Mary H said… - That would be fun - school cross country. The barn I ride at has a Pony Club so they usually go do things like that as part of Pony Club events. I am a *bit* older and so don't get to go. :-(

- I hear ya on not bouncing like I used to. Now it is bounce, crunch or thud! :-) After my last couple falls I took a break from jumping for a while. I have gotten back to jumping occasionally and am probably better for it. I am more relaxed and haven't fallen since. (Knock on wood!) I would like to run a grasshopper or beginning novice cross country course though. Griffin gets very excited around other horses so we are working on that for now and getting him to canter decently.
