please share your driving pictures!!!!!

[dieseljoe]

[/URL]I love to look at the pictures of others riding or just showing off their lovely horses but am dissapointed at not seeing any pictures of horses driving. I know this is New Rider and not New Driver but I do both and surely I mustn't be the only one!:(
My horse is DJ and he is four now but these pics are from last year. He loves to drive and has a completly different mind set when doing it and behaves well for my husband! (well most of the time!!)
please add to this any of your photos for us drivers to enjoy.:D

lovely to see horses in a harness.
are those two light horses welsh cobs? (the big ones) they are very hansome and ellegant.
the shetlands are so very cute.
:)

thanks

[palmerlover52]

Or maybe haflingers, the two in the harness maybe? i only think that cos of the colour lol

[Wally]

The big pair are indeed Haflinger stallions, father and son. Dear boys that they were.

they are very hansome and ellegant........and didn't they know it, they were a couple of posers!

That was in a marathon a few weeks ago.

[Miriam]

Until someone can post pics of Rhi here I'm stuck. But you can always see the real thing Sarah. In actual help when I see you I need to enlist your help with DJ and the cart. Also Bruno and the cart :D

[dieseljoe]

the above photos are great, exactly what I was after. fantastic view!

Miriam - I will be up farm all thursday afternoon messing with DJ, if you are up you can pick my brains, but don't hope for too much!! :D

[iloveshearer]

i have quite a few more marathon pictures aswell, but they are all quite similar!!

Sarah its not your brains I want to pick. I want to borrow you and DJ and some other horses. Looking at getting the kids ready for fence houses this year so want them to get a little practice in so they know what they are doing. Thought it was around July but notice last year was August so plenty of time yet.

sheltering from the sun LOL ( joke as the heavens opened that day and we were one of the few that day to escape drenching while in action :rolleyes: )

[iloveshearer]

blimey you wouldn't catch any of our horses in that very scarey looking tent! :D :p

[tazzle22]

she had never been through it before that day :eek: ..... had done lots similar things though :cool:

I love that first pic of scally ......... what a wonderful ride that looks :)

[Wally]

Ahhh, we have got a caravan, with a HUGE awning, I am going to use the awning as mobile stabling for the Shetlands! Should be interesting!

That picture shows it is possible.

This is the first time that Iz ever drove Rhi :D

[iloveshearer]

Windsor Park:cool: Some of the views in there are amazing!

[tazzle22]

Windsor Park Some of the views in there are amazing
opppppppppppps so that "factory" in the background must be windsor castle then :eek: ...... I think I better go visit opticians ;)

Good idea Wally re the awning ... much cheaper than actual portable stabling ;) .... and just as effective I would think for shelter.

Let us know how you get on !

I liked the haffie boys .. looking very smart all of you .. are you in the pic???

[Wally]

yes , it's me driving.

I have a feeling though Andrew the Pants might find out just how funny it is taking an awning down with the occupants still in it!

[tazzle22]

ah a face to go with the name :cool: .... mind you with my eyesight (mistaking windsor castle for a factory!) I might still pass you in the street ...... though not if driving the haffie boys :)


mmmmmmm could I be there with camera if awning coming down then :p

[Wally]

This is a more recent one,

[tazzle22]

just a liiiiiitle smaller :p

Very smart turnout too .......... red does so suit the greys doesnt it :)


love the setting too .... looks very much like scottish hills in the backgound !!!

[Wally]

Shetland hills, Staney Hill to be precise.

The cart and pony belong to the little lass, she was only 8 then, I think.

She drives very nicely, she chose Red herself, I had some red leather left over from a job so made her matching harness, bit of fun for a junior whip.

[Wally]

This is her in the class, driving herself.

[iloveshearer]

yep that'll be Windsor Castle :D

[tazzle22]

Lovely to see the youngsters driving ........the youngsters at the livery yard I used to be at would fight over who came on board :eek: we had to rotate !!!

.... and these are some of the children that had a go when I took Taz round the housing estate for Jenny and her friends .....


http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b89/tazzle22/jennysbirthdayatreat.jpg




Those hills are soooooo recognisable ;)

och well coudln't get much further into the homeland then ;) .... though even when I come home I will only be half way nearer you :D . alsmost as bad as a sasenach I am ;)

are you a native shetlander then wally ????

[dieseljoe]

lovely pics, Tazzle22, your horse looks very similar to my Nephews horse Bruno, see above pics (although none of him actually driving, but he does!!!)
and I have to agree with alice that i wouldn't get my horse in that tent thing either:eek: !!

[dieseljoe]

just posted above reply without realising that there was a second page of brilliant pictures!! (Doh!!). Thanks to everyone for your responses. I feel very happy now that there are others who drive and love it too!
:D
