I think we need a horse driving section.

[Pony-n-trap]

I second that Lazybee, maybe we could have a section for working horses and driving horses?

I work at the Carriage Driving Centre near me, we do weddings, driving for the disabled, lessons, kids parties, carriage hires for the hotel nearby, carriages drives for older members of our community to 'bring back memories', we collect Father Christmas to take him to the grotto because 'the Reindeer struggle when the snow runs out!' I love it, its great!

My love is the Gypsy Cob .. I have one called Arthur (aka the Moose) He is a ride and drive and last year I got him a 6 seater wagonette unfortunately he had a bit of a bad experience involving a motorbike so we are having to rebuild his confidence

here is my boy

He's lovely - fabulous mane!

[lazybee]

Love the "tash"

[Samantha]

hehe thanks .. he is such a character and gives the best kisses when asked .. the pic was taken just after I took his main out of plats so it got the lovely wavey look ... his mane and tail are sooooo long but he looks stunning with it (i'm bias) lol

Gorgeous isn't he?  I am smiliing at the tash.  One of my Dales has one, but not very becoming on a mare!!

We have a thoroughbred who never raced. Actually, he's 8 now, and has  done bug..r all, cept eat.
Also have a irish sports horse who does very little too!

At the moment we have 2 Bulgarian ponies a 13.3hh palomino and 14.2hh bay mare, no pedigrees but both completely different. One is supposed to be from russian stock. Both drive, although the palomino mare is most definitely better and I did back the bay mare last year then turned her away and still not got round to doing anything with her

Also a sweet looking but rather devious donkey named Maggie who is nothing more than a pet these days but is broken to drive. She's currently doing lawnmower duties as our strimmers were stolen last week.

Before we moved to Bulgaria we had a trotter x native. An arab x hackney (who was a right tw*t), a Friesian x TB and a welsh section B who is still competing at age 30! We made the decision to sell up rather than transport them 2500 miles and I still miss my friesian x tb dreadfully. He was my perfect horse. We'd owned 3 of them from foals and had the welshy for 10 years.

Must admit I prefer cob types although I've ridden most things. Cobs always make me feel more secure.

Heres my 2

17yo IDxTB hunter gelding, who we've had since he was 6


7yo Haflinger mare, who we've had since she was an unbroken 3yo filly

hi i have a dales friesian cross mare she is my world, and a mini shet gelding he is a cheeky 2yr old, a mini shet mare who is the calm one of the bunch and her 5 month old filly foal

I bet the Dales Friesian mare is nice.  I was tempted at one time to have a Friesian horse for driving, but have kept with the Dales.

This is my 4yr old half-bred Friesian. Home-bred out of my own piebald mare, he's 15hh.



This is his dam. 12yr old, by Artistic Image (Fiona Stewart's stallion). She's 14.2hh.

Wow!!  Lovely horses.  After my Dales and Fells, I do have a liking for coloureds.

Will put Cloud and Joe's pics on in a day or so, I'm on the laptop, can't do it from here.

There are a lot of beautiful horses and ponies on here!
