The above would be fun, however I strongly
suggest beginners use the buggy below instead! *smile*
Driving a mini whether hitched to a cart or wagon, can
be a source of enjoyment for the entire family. senior
citizens, the handicapped, children -- all can learn to drive
a Miniature and enjoy the exhilarating experience. Once
trained a Miniature Horse can pull two adults for up to ten
miles and children can easily learn to "hitch up".

Driving Miniature Horses is a great form of entertainment.
One of the great advantages related to children driving a
Miniature Horse is that it gives them something to be proud
of, a sense of accomplishment, while occupying their time.

Training a horse to drive for the show ring will take about
six months, as there are several steps that should be
taken in the proper bitting, harnessing, and driving of a
young horse. Each step must be overcome properly prior to
going on to the next. This will help to insure that the
finished product will be safe and enjoyable for all.

Geldings are an ideal choice for a driving animal. They are
usually stronger and heavier muscled than a mare and more
attentive to their job than are stallions. This does not
mean, however, that stallions and mares are unsuitable for
driving, as any horse that carries itself well and has enough
size, can be a driving candidate. Miniatures which are used
in driving are usually about 33 inches tall.
