Hello, I am a complete, complete, complete novice when it comes to driving I'm sorry to say that I am a rider rather than a driver, but my husband does drive ( he is currently breaking our new youngester to harness)and drives our Dales when I'm not riding him. ;D any way sorry to ramble on

Hi Honeybee I have a dales pony too, although she's only two years old. What's your pony's name? LOL, I know absolutely nothing about driving, but have had lots of questions answered for me on here. Its a great forum

No, sadly he isn't, we ended up with him by accident. We were selling a tb youngester and when the buyers came to collect they had this scruffy 3 year old in the trailer that they were taking to the 'meat man' on the way home! so we said we would take him and we've had him ever since. Originally he was just a field ornament then my hubby broke him to harness and then in April of this year I thought I would ride him ( I lost my event horse last October so I thought I would just potter around on Ty) the little man took us all by suprise and is an outstanding jumper and allrounder. Sorry to ramble but I do love my boy.

I had a lovely dales mare too that I lost suddenly in the field aged only 6 .... wonderful breed and very versatile. I rode my friends intermediate dresage stallion once and it was magical ( very few people were allowed to even sit on him )
now have a welshie !
