There may be times where a driver is interested in matching an equine to their equipment, instead of the other way around. Our long time friend and customer, Sallie Wickens, has some wise words to say about this.

Sallie says:
As someone who bought the cart before the horse (or mini in my case), here’s my two cents.

Driving safely and enjoyably with your new horse is the goal? Right?

1. Find a reputable trainer you enjoy working with, explain your goals and desire and your interest in finding the right horse to work with.

2. Stay with your trainer until he/she feels that you can drive comfortably and safe enough to work with your own horse.

3. Don’t get married to your harness and cart – they are the last factor when looking for a good, safe driving companion. I’ve bought and sold carts that didn’t work out, harnesses too. With some luck and guidance you may be able to make the match between equipment and the right horse – but the right horse always come first.

4. People that own fine driving horses/ponies are not going to give their horses away and might hesitate to let you test drive if you are a complete novice with no training background – which is why #1 is critical.

Take your time in all of the above and the right horse will find you. ❤
.. we could not have said it any better ourselves Sallie!

Imagine if we all showed up and cheered for each other the way has….

💕 The Symbolism of Snoop Dogg at the Olympics: The Power of Positive Energy

When Snoop Dogg appeared at the Olympics, his presence was more than just a celebrity cameo. It symbolized how one person’s positive energy and genuine enthusiasm can transform an atmosphere. Snoop’s infectious joy and laid-back charisma brought a fresh, uplifting vibe to the event, proving that positivity is contagious.

In a setting as grand and high-stakes as the Olympics, his lighthearted commentary and excitement showed the world that embracing joy and authenticity can create a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone. Just like Snoop Dogg, each of us has the power to change the atmosphere with our positive energy and enthusiasm.

Food for thought: Be your circle’s hype man.
