Carriage Driving - Specializing in training hunter/jumper ponies & mini's to drive! Often children's hunter or lesson ponies become "burned out" and stop jumping or refuse to do their job. Let us rehabilitate and teach your pony to enjoy life again and become a wonderful driving pony for recreation or competition. Have a mini that needs a job? Driving is also a great way to keep smaller ponies in shape and tuned up by adults that are too big to ride the smaller ponies. Now you or your child never have to out grow your favorite pony. Let us teach it to drive and experience the wonderful world of driving ponies! Also starting young ponies to drive.
