Cart training for miniature.

Does anyone know of a trainer for minis and carts? I thought I would have time but it keeps slipping away. Do you know how much a trainer would charge?

Wendy Fisher at Willow Tree Equestrian Center in Bangor trains horses of all sizes to drive. She trained my Belgian and I'm very pleased. Training for 30 days with full board is somewhere around $500/month. You'd have to call her to get an exact price. The thing I like about her is she can tell you what you can expect after 30 days. Not many trainers can/will do that! (269) 427-5141

Thank you very much. It is nice to get a good reference. I hate just finding random names.

I know a gal who has a mini that pulls a cart---I will ask her if Bucky was already trained when they got him or if they had to train him. If I get any pertinent info I will let you know
