Liam & Liam greeting Laddie & Bonnie

Getting Laddie used to the big sleigh

It's good to have all three horses that will ride and drive.
Everybody must earn their keep at CVF.

Flashback: George with the cutter

George was the litte Hackey pony that we first drove,
The late Bill Robertson loaned him to us for the winter.
He was very willing, and taught us lots.
That was many years ago. Just look at Ian & Annie.
We still use the same cutter with Jack & Bonnie.
But draft size shafts.
This little cutter has given us alot of pleasure.

Although our mare Bonnie is 21 years old she can still pull the sleigh.

We hope to get her going in a team this winter with the bobsleigh.
