The day was 30 degrees F. and very light breeze, so figured it was a prefect day to take BMR's Mom for a nice sleigh ride. She wasn't sure but after she got all dressed up in her warm clothes she came out and BMR helpped her in and off we went. When BMR helpped her back to the house she...

The ponies had quite a day. The morning started with my brother in law helping me do some fine adjusting on the harnesses. When I took him for a ride yesterday he thought the neck yoke was riding a bit low so he came out this morning and we adjusted the snaps to make it ride a couple inches...

Speaking of art work I was asked by our vet if I would do a painting for her husband's birthday. She wanted a painting of his favorite dog that is getting up in years. She was down the other day to get it as his birthday was today. She loved it and said it looked just like the dog. I just...

Glad to see you know who you are, even without naming names you little trouble maker :wink: :lol:

We haven't figured out the heater :? , so I'm thinking a few pairs of feet and hand warmers might have to be added to my Santa lists just in case. :santa: :wink: As far as the whip. If I wasn't so nice :pretty: :nod: do you think my father in law would give me a whip? But don't worry the...

I took the bobsled back to the shop and did a bit of work to it. I had built a sleigh before but BMR and Lane didn't think the runners were strong enough so I took the body and attached it to the bobsled runners. and added a tray to the back to carry feed buckets. When we pulled it out it went...

All the hard but fun work is paying off. :D BMR gave me my Christmas present early. :D He put his welding and blacksmith skills to work and made me a pony size double tree. He used square tubing from an old bale feeder and some rod iron . It's light weight and is eazy to hook up the tugs to...

I've cleaned barn with Betty a few times and Veronica earned her oats today by taking mineral out to BMR's calves in the small pasture south of the yard. I don't think BMR will mind having them around as long as I can save him a few steps while doing his chores. :wink:

You can just keep your little airhorn to yourself you little trouble maker :wink: :D Our son was out with me the other day and his comment was "this is so much fun it has to be illegal" We were out in the big hay yard and Betty was turning circles so fast she had the sleigh slidding and...

Not just yet but thanks for asking FIRST. :wink:

When my friend said her husband had two sets of harness one show and one working, I thought this one was the show harness but I was wrong the other one has even more bling. The son told me if I was going to put the ponies in a parade I could come borrow the show set :wink:

I went down to the welding shop in Plentywood and told them what I wanted and they welding the steel frame. Then I brought it home and painted it and added the oak boards and padded seats. It also has an axle with 15 inch car tires that bolts on for warm weather driving. The shafts move while...

I thought I would bring you up to date on the ponies progress. This is Betty working for her oats. We were cleaning the barn. After I unloaded at the outside pile, she would pull me back to the barn to reload. This is Veronica on my new sleigh. Since the horefrost was so pretty this...

I play Western movie theme music Like BONANZA to them, I wipe their heads and necks down with paper that crinkles and put bells on their harness. I have drove them up the side walk and across plywood, and bang the gates behind them all so they get use to sharp different sounds. Today I was...

Oh come on you know a rancher was a little cowboy fight imaginary indians once. Stick horses and ponies are both in every little cowboys life if not in true life at least in their dreams. :wink: I grew up with a pony that I rode, BMR tells of stories of his pony he drove to the neighbors to get...

Funny you should say that as the day Lane brought them home he said he figured the ranch was going to need a couple good ponies as we have two great nephews one about 16 months and the other about 6 months and it was only a matter of time before one of his sisters would make him an uncle. A...

Rest easy I doubt I will have to use the W. :wink: I have had them bolt while walking behind them and it was never anything I couldn't stop before I was to the end of the lines. I had one friend that drives alot come down and he was very impressed on how well the ponies respond to my...

It has been a blast but I think BMR is already figured out a way to make them pay for their hay. I thought I could pull the barn sled over to the hoppers and pull oat pails back to the barn when needed but He figures I should re-enforce the front of the barn sled so I can use it to clean the...

I knew if I waited long enough you would come up with something to actually help. Was it the threat of the ear full of airhorn the next time you call BMR. :shock: :? :wink: :lol: But funny you should suggest that as I ran into a neighbor that has been driving for years and he said that...
