you saved me a bundle of money today! I watched all your videos with April and started your steps. just got my mini which is perfect for my 6' frame, he is gray though and well a he. haha. i have had ranch riding horses all my life and always wanted a mini that can drive. Little Sebastian is only 2 so i got big hopes and dreams for him. thanks for the laughs!

Thank you for the explanation, unfortunately, I'm a visual person. If you have time, which it looks like you're pretty busy, if you could do a quick video that would be great!! If not, I understand. Also, where did you purchase your harnesses for your minis? Also, did you ever get April to pull the sled again? She's so cute. I have a red head and sorrel but they're both geldings. Cheers!!

You can knot the ends around a ring. Doesn't have to be pretty back braid. I'll see what I can do about a follow up video. April hates the sled but I did hitch her and drive around but her tiny size makes driving hard so she gets to be mascot.

ALSO CAN YOU DO THIS WITH LIKE ROPE AND A BIGGER GIRTH WHERE YOU CAN LIKE PULL THINGS CAUSE LIKE ROPE IS THICKER

This is so cool

[@terrimorrison6221]

I know you did these a while ago but I have a question on the trace. How did you finish them off with the rings? they were just all of a sudden done with rings on them. sorry if it's a stupid question but I'm just getting into this whole driving thing. And thanks for doing these videos, they're great!!

[@DutchHollow]

Oh I'm naughty I did do that. Get a pair of hemostats or needle nose pliers. When you get to the end, wrap the lines through the ring in various directions and weave back into your braid.

[@terrimorrison6221]

Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it. That's interesting about April and how her small size is a little more work. My minis are 33" & 36" so we'll see. I greatly appreciate you taking time to put together a video. Thanks again

[@DutchHollow]

She's only 29" and all red head attitude

[@GreenTea-kx6ro]

I don’t think it matters

[@GreenTea-kx6ro]
