Hello! I am computer-illiterate, and have never belonged to this kind of a group before, so have no idea whether/how this will show up, but will compose it with confidence that it will work!! My name is Margo. After a lifetime of riding(which I still do,on occasion; I have an APHA mare, who I wish was a hand shorter--I am 62, so I am half-a-hand shorter than I once was, and mounting has NOT gotten any easier!!) However, I have now been driving since @ '87. I have AMHA (34" and under)Miniatures, so that is my experience(though I am starting a pony-1/2 Hackney, 1/2 mini-to be a single). In the past three years or so, I have FINALLY gotten around to driving a pair, using a bay 34" gelding I raised, and a 32" I bought to drive with him. PAIRS ARE SUCH FUN!! I have a mini-sized back-to-back trap made by Jack Stewart at Golden Horse and Carriage, and this summer I bought a darling mini buckboard...so far, have done only our State Fair parade with the buckboard, and a couple of other parades with the trap--but am looking forward to doing more things, with both vehicles! Just recently,a friend who drives Fjords put me onto the CD-L, and now, courtesy of a link posted on the Lil Beginnings Miniature Horse Forum, I have found this group....I am THRILLED!! So--I am happy to be here, and look forward to participation!!
