This message is from: "Linda Lottie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Amy - thanks so much for your response. I hope to do more of the ponying......like you said, it gives two horses exercise at the same time. Honestly, if I had a team harness I would be tempted to hitch up the young one......he is such a sweetie and so smart.....he catches on so fast and accepts.
I will just continue to lead him as it worked out so well. Dumb us......heck, we were out on the road due to the bugs.....with three cars that went by........little Hasse just took them in stride. We did stop and "stand" while the cars went by.......and as I said.....the only little issue we had with Hasse was that initially he thought it was Play Time. Once he figured out we were seriously just "walking along" he got in the groove......we even trotted a little in the driveway......he was totally cool:) Appreciate the helpful info........Linda in MN >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: Big Day for "Hasse" >Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 19:43:55 EDT > >This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >In a message dated 8/14/2004 9:26:48 PM Pacific Daylight Time, >[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >where should we tie him if we want to pony him along side or behind the cart? >Or, should I just lead him as I did today? > > >Hi Linda: > >This is something we do a lot of, whether we just want to exercise two of the >mares at once or we want to take one of the kids along.
