[drivingpairs] Re: what we are and do

I suppose I'll introduce myself as well.

I am currently attending UC Davis as an undergrad student, and taking 
jumping lessons at the UCD equestrian center.  Unfortunately, none of my 
horses are up here, so no driving for me. :(

But at home(Bakersfield), we own 2 horses that drive(TB X and Paint X), 2 
minis that drive, along with a few others that either will learn to drive 
or are pasture ornaments.  I have been driving for 6 or so years, 
starting out with the miniature horses and then training our big horses 
to drive.  I do train miniatures to drive professionally(carriage style) 
at Tanglewood Farms. I show my minis in Training and Prelim(dep on the 
horse) and want to start Intermediate with Fascination, all of the horses 
are at Training level(TB is basically retired).  I am a confirmed 
tandemanic, having borrowed a Tanglewood horse to compete in Training 
tandem at the most recent Mighty Minis CDE.  I also drive the minis we 
own in tandem for fun(they are not a show tandem...too mismatched).  I 
attended the first Young Driver's Camp in North Carolina in 04--actually 
that is where I met my roommate for Davis next year--which was an 
absolutely wonderful camp!

We have one 3 yr old Clyde X Paint gelding that will be started this 
summer--I am very excited to show him lightly next year(pleasure show or 
two maybe?).  Look for us at some CA shows in the next year or so--he's a 
chestnut pinto.  He is actually supposed to be my mom's competition 
horse, but I wanted to drive him in his first couple of shows(hey if I 
train him I want to get to show him a bit!).

Sadly this year I will not be showing in much(no RamTap for me), due to 
college, but next year I will have my mini mare, Fascination, to drive up 
here.  However, my mom will be driving a single mini at Ram Tap this year.

Nice to hear about everyone!
