When you were a baby we put you in the cart and tied the goat to it and pulled you around. I used to have a picture somewhere. Your uncle always tells me about a friend who's uncle went crazy and drove a goat cart up the street NAKED! Now that's a horror story. Please someone if I am going down the street naked in my pony cart, throw me a blanket.goatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753367360714853700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-40325549109032125282008-10-08T15:18:00.000-07:002008-10-08T15:18:00.000-07:00I have a friend who "carts" with horses, ponies an...I have a friend who "carts" with horses, ponies and mules. Her advice is to take it in steps and be confident in each step before progressing to the next. She even has done the cross country wagon train up near Winthrop!Gone2theDawgshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138393137324890048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-56965004392057926332008-10-08T12:37:00.000-07:002008-10-08T12:37:00.000-07:00I have no horror stories for you about carting.

The closest thing I can offer on that line is: We used to have a goat cart (no goat by that time, much to my personal chagrin) and Moonie and I had a great time making Dad and Bumpa pull us around the yard!! =) See? No horror! Go for the cart!! ;)FoxMeadowsFarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17443680009224657886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-21750312718270220372008-10-08T07:54:00.000-07:002008-10-08T07:54:00.000-07:00Where people run into trouble...I think that peop...Where people run into trouble...I think that people look at ponies and they see the cuteness. And they forget that just cause there little and cute....there still Equine. So deserving of the same respect and consideration of a horse. They are animals of flight whether there 10 hand tall or 17 hands. Remember to analyze things with equine goggeles on and you'll be okay.<BR/><BR/>And besides....just think of the money you'll save going to the grocery store in your cart instead of your car!Tami Weingartnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162998790940785630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-10992438477100067602008-10-08T07:17:00.000-07:002008-10-08T07:17:00.000-07:00I think that would be an excellent aerobic workout...I think that would be an excellent aerobic workout, Wendy! Think of what great shape your lungs will be in, not to mention your whole body! Time will tell whether or not you and Sunny will be comfortable together with a cart. Don't rule it out, and don't give in to the negativity. Think of the possibilities.@JDHealingTimeOnEarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174795006658764605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-6022655743087395822008-10-08T05:32:00.000-07:002008-10-08T05:32:00.000-07:00Cute Pony.Cute Pony.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-38589426631455881132008-10-08T05:22:00.000-07:002008-10-08T05:22:00.000-07:00I cant say it better than Lisa, but I agree with h...I cant say it better than Lisa, but I agree with her wholeheartedly.sugarcreekstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398483543918415852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-67315051514326038082008-10-08T05:08:00.000-07:002008-10-08T05:08:00.000-07:00I think (based on my .very. limited experience) th...I think (based on my .very. limited experience) that as with most training, people go to fast. I started my mare line driving this year. She does a wonderful job in the arenas and near the barn. I took her down the field and to the gravel pit, but we had some trouble and then I had to decide if the cost of feeding the impatience was worth the possible fallout of her learning something I would rather she not learn. This was .all. my own fault as she was not ready for that yet. <BR/><BR/>The point of this long winded commentary is that I think you need to work just like you are doing, take it small steps at a time and enjoy the journey. Ponies and carts don't have to be a disaster, they can also be fun!Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-55677426566762816002008-10-07T22:53:00.000-07:002008-10-07T22:53:00.000-07:00Oh wow!

The vision of you running down the road behind your cute little Sunny...I'm sure with a huge happy smile on your face....just fills my heart with joy!<BR/><BR/>My advice to you, is to just go for it! Live your dream!<BR/><BR/>Life is too short to worry about 'what ifs'.<BR/><BR/>Start off on quiet country roads, or even a parking lot after the store has closed. Get to know Sunny as a cart pony. Learn what gets him going, what calms him down and what 'freaks' him out.<BR/><BR/>Once you feel really comfie, and so does Sunny, head out on any road or even do a parade together.<BR/><BR/>My friend, you are going to have SO much fun!!<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>~LisaLaughing Orca Ranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03562627840013868980noreply@blogger.com
