Shae, .....I will share with you that there was a time in my life, that I trained, drove and showed a few of my own harness horses. I was better with driving then riding. If you still have Buzz in the fall, buy him a set of sleigh bells and take him out on country drives. You will be amazed how the horse/pony dials into the cadence/rhythm of the bells and your road adventure takes on a whole new level. Watching this video brought back a flood of happy memories. I'm old now, ... but if I ever won the lottery, and could afford a country cottage with a few acres, I would shop for a driving pony and take myself and my puppy out for a spin. I'm disabled handicapped, mostly homebound, but I could still sit my butt in a pony cart. Actually, it would make a good therapy program for disabled veterans and handicapped children/people. Need to buy that winning lottery ticket first! LOL😅 - ACD p.s. you, kyle and buzz looked grrrrreat!
❤
He was probably wondering when he'd get to do that again. I'm sure it's harder on them when they change hands in a way where the new family doesn't know their past. I'm so glad you took him to find out!
that pony has *definitely* driven before (note: i commented this before i saw the part of the video where your friend confirmed that he was definitely broke to drive)! i spent about 8-10 months along side my instructor training a small handful of horses where i ride, some of whom had not driving background. the only ones we could put all the equipment on and hook up, right off the bat, were those who had driven before. those who had not driven before had to be slowly introduced to the cart
congratulations on having effectively a "jack of all trades" pony!!!!
Yes he has! That was our whole point is to see if he’s been driven before.
Looks like you hit the jackpot with that pony. Thanks for taking us along on this adventure. I've had horses for over 50 years but never ventured into the driving realm. You'll have SO much fun with Buzz.
I’m so proud of Buzz!! He did great!! 💛💛💛
Congrats
GOOD BOY BUZZ!! He's such a great pony! Love to you, Kyle and Buzz for taking us along with you!❤❤❤
What a great friend, to help you with learning how to drive and seeing if your pony was able to drive - so happy for you guys😀
What a gem of pony... Good boy Buzz ❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a little star Buzz is, you’re going to have so much fun with him with his little cart :)
Yay and Congratulations you now have an all around pony that you both can have fun with. 👍♥️🐴😁🎉🎊
This is my first time meeting Mr Buzz. As a child, I always wanted a pony and cart. Buzz looks so handsome harnessed up and pulling the cart and both you and Kyle looked regal in the driver's seat! Thanks for sharing this special day with us!
congrats on buzz he such a gem of a pony but I don't know if u noticed but hes gone lame on one of his back legs. At the start when u went slow Mo his hock sliped he might have an old injury in his hip or something but just wanted to Let u know just incase u didn't see xx congrats hes and amazing pony xx
OMG! Buzz loved his new job! The best!
You have a good friend and neighbor to show you the ropes with Buzz.
What a fun experience! He looks likes such a natural and responding so well. Such a nice add to his repertoire. This is what Free Spirit is about. Not just the horse/pony learning but what they can teach us ❤️
What a cutie, little Buzz. A perfect little driving pony, so happy for Kyle.
Buzz looks so sweet driving ^_^ I'm so happy that your husband enjoyed learning as much as you did and that you guys bought a cart to take home!
Buzz is such a cutie!
I smiled all the way through this video, Buzz really looked like "oh I know this!! This is fun🎉" it was so nice to see, you are such a nice trainer❤❤❤
Shae Buzz handled that like a champ!!! You should be very proud of him!!! Not all riding ponies handle being hooked in harness!! But Buzz did great!!! So glad to see Kyle getting to drive him!!🐴💞😍
I am so proud!
I think Buzz was a driving pony that took to saddle. 😃 Regardless, like you said Linda, Buzz did great and handled everything like a Champ!! 🥇 🐎 I can't wait to see more driving videos.
Wow!!!! Buzz is awesome!!! You really surprised me, not having ponies in your program…but he is so talented and sweet! I bet he has made some big friends🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You sure have a great pony Buzz he is so sweet, smart and responsive to his first time. I hope your husband will be happy to see what a great boy he is.
I love the variety of activities in your channel! It was fun to learn about driving a cart and seeing Buzz a willing and able little pony. So cute!! You made a wise purchase with Buzz. 👏
It appears that Buzz is an "all around pony", lunge, ride, and drive. So happy for you Shae and your students who will learn horsemanship with/from him. I wonder why his previous owners parted with him. They must have spent a lot of time working with him too. If his previous owners ever happen to see him in one of your videos I hope it brings joy to their hearts to see what a good life he has with you and Kyle. 😊❤
What a fun day for you both. I would just have one word of caution (you can check with the man who sold you the cart). Always remove the cart first after you finish driving if the pony is used to wearing blinders as part of the harness. I once took off the bridle from my horse while she was still hitched to the cart with disastrous results. Like I say, you can check out this bit of advice with your friend to get another opinion. While Buzz apparently has been driven before, you do not know whether or not he was always wearing blinders. Good luck to Kyle with his driving.
I love that so many of you are so generous with advice. 😂a🎉
This is the number 2 rule of safe driving. The #1 rule is have control of the reins at all times. If anything startled the equine during hitching or unhitching the reins are the only hope you have of preventing an animal bolting with the cart attached to him.
@@junebyrne4491 driving is much more dangerous than riding. You have less control and the damage done by a runaway harness horse attached to a cart can be considerable.
Adorable ❤❤❤❤
What was weird was my Shetland hated the blinkers and would pull the cart perfectly without them.
Drivers Ed. Nice job Buzzie. Good pick, Kyle.
Buzz Lightyear, that was very pro!
Good boy, Buzz, good boy! He stops when he's asked to, and when the cart keeps going and hits him in the rear he doesn't get upset, that's a very very good boy! Most horses, in harness or under saddle, would freak out when something runs into their hind end. Traffic on the road didn't bother him, either. That surprised me because those vehicles were pretty close and going at a good clip. The nice aspect of a four wheel cart is that it's more stable, resulting in a smoother ride for the passengers, and four contacts with the ground takes weight off the pony. Enjoy your new "hobby."
Thankyou shae for takeing us along with you to see if bud could drive I use to do driving I loved it the little pony I drove name was Chelsea bless her she is no longer with us
How lovely! I’m sorry she’s not here any more but I’m glad you treasure her.
This is amazing. Buzz did great. ❤❤
I can imagine on a hot day Buzz just chillen in the trough
He's a natural! Way to go Buzz👏👏👏👏
Look at his forward motion and his willingness to learn ❤ what a lil man!
This little guy continues to impress and amaze! I did see Kyle smiling, that's great that he too was having fun😁.
Go Buzz, you are a wonderful driving pony!
Wow he did so well he is a real treasure incredible xx
Buzz did good. Yay buzz light year.
Mushu and the hose, though. He is so inquisitive. I love him xx
Wow!! What a talented little pony. And how great to have such a nice friend!
Buzz looked so cute all tacked up for driving. I bet it won't be long before he has a straw hat with flowers on it too.
Haha!
Way to go Buzz ❤ ! I love his little horsey audience watching seeming to cheer their stable mate on so sweet and so stinking cute 🥰
Oh my goodness your husband is so handsome you're a very lucky lady
Thank you 💖
He's so talented! Great way to help keep the pony tendency to chonkiness under control too
Yes lol
Wow what a perfect little pony . it-was beautiful watching you on . the green.
What a champ you are, Buzzyboy!!
What a gem! He just keeps getting better and better!
🥰
What a nice little pony!
he makes it look so easy nice you both enjoyed it seems like it would be hard to give that up
What a good boy!
He's an old pro. 😂 He's pretty experienced. Green horses tend to weave from side to side until they get used to things. You can buckle and unbuckle the lines to/from the headstall and loop around your arm so they don't drag. Seeing that mess on the ground gave me heart failure. 😁 There's also a way to tie up the traces.
I loved the peanut gallery you guys had!
Hahaha! Yes I agree :)
I love this channel. You are always doing amazing things and I love how you are saving action horses.
Waww Buzz Is such a good boy! I'm so impressed with both of you! Him already knowing how to drive and also starting to learn riding and you also learning how to drive that's soo cool! I love your videos I've been waching you since you only had like 17 000 subscribers and know only like some weeks later I'm so happy for you and you really deserve it all!🥰🤩🤗❤
LOVE IT♥️‼️. Who knew??!!😂🤣♥️‼️now you can have cart training classes for your students!!!?♥️🙋♀️🥰☮️🕉️ Love to all‼️
So much fun! Little Buzz is such a sweet boy. You guys are going to have so many adventures driving him. 🥕
GET IT
GET IT
BUZZ
Awesome! Now you have a driving equine in your barn! Just a few suggestions. Dont use the overcheck on the harness. As you can see you cant drop his head. Also carry a driving whip. The whip takes place of a person's legs. One more suggestion, try a solid mouth piece bit.
Oh you bought the cart huh ? That's great !!!!
So cool.. I loved watching buzz trot in the yard with you, it made me smile big time -ha ha. What a great video. All your training and hard work made him such a lovely pony⭐️
That pony is adorable!!! Kyle, this is your time to shine! 😊
Buzz earned his keep today, what a joy and that gentleman was so informative and hepful. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Perfect color harness for his coloring. Love it!😍😍
Awesome Buzz, wow what a great lad you are. Love Love Love the colour of the harness, he looks STUNNING
I loved the color too! 🩵
AMAZING YOU ARE SO INSPIRING AND GIFTED
He looked like he enjoyed it as well as you and Kyle.
A testimony of how good care, feed and training can make all the difference in the world! Just look at the first picture of Buzz and now! Good job, Lucky Buzz!
I think Buzz has driven before & he is so stinking cute! ♥️
Driving is so much fun! Buzz looks great in the teal!
omg buzz did so well. mushy at the end mad me laugh so hard
He’s something else hahaha
What a great little pony Buzz is Shae, you and Kyle are going to have so much fun driving him, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
What a good boy! I’d take off the overcheck, though. It looks like he can’t drop his head level and lean into the breast collar for proper draft. This is why he seems to be struggling a bit, especially when starting up from a stop. But what a patient pony to be so kind dealing with that!
Exactly, I would try it without overcheck too.
Plus the breast collar seems to sit just a little too high IMHO.
buzz is in pretty good shape I've seen so many overweight ponies and I just wanted to say whatever your doing with him to keep him in shape is working he looks a lot better from when you first got him
Yes we make sure to exercise and not over feed him while still giving him 24/7 forage :).
Sweet baby Buzz
Oh my gosh! Little Buzz looked so, so cute 🎉🎉💕
Ditto Holly! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Buzz is the man! I think he’s Kyle’s favorite buddy.
that is one of the cutest things ive seen in a long time! ur doing SO WELL with him Shae!!! you should be soooo proud xxx
I’m glad you liked it! Thanks :)
Buzz looks like a professional
the was a really fun video. I wonder if he's been waiting to show you he could do this!
He is adorable. Miss driving my Welsh/Arab x. Use to show in hand and drive had such an awesome time met a lot of great people at the LMHA shows. Sadly due to my lower back issues, had to get out of horses. Enjoy watching the auction videos and other videos.
❤ adorable ❤
I recommend to get a stand for the cart to set the shafts on to protect them from bending
What a great little wagon
Buzz is very comfortable in the carriage, i noticed that his harness was slipped on his back. Thats a bit dangerous because youre cart will touch hiss back legs. I am from Holland, its difficault to explain. I am driving with my 1.70m frisian horse 😊
Thank you for that short education on the cart and Buzz lightyear. Buzz was so great for that first time to be hooked up and pulling the cart! That tells me that you guys are really relating in kindness and care to your charges. I love how you open your heart to horses at auctions but at the same time remember your obligations at present! Since you are actually a teacher at heart i applaud your valuable lessons you are passing on to the less experienced enthusiasts! God bless Kyle and You together!❤❤
That little girl looked like me at that age. I had a cart pony when I was a kid. He was 48” tall, a little sorrel with flaxen mane and tail, named Poncho. I loved that pony. I taught him to neck rein and he was my first 4H horse. He and I did so well at the 4H show that I was bitten by the show bug. We went to the amateur horse show the following weekend and got a consolation ribbon. I was “devastated”. But I still wanted to show. Turns out my dad knew someone who had a show pony who hadn’t been ridden in about 4 years, since his son out grew him and didn’t show any more. He was a red (bay) roan POA and was probably about 15. I tried him out and did so well with him that Mr. Walker let us bring him home. He was only on loan to us until I outgrew him. He wasn’t the prettiest pony in the world, but he was an excellent mover and I learned so much about showing on him. We won many a horsemanship class. As for Poncho, I turned him into my halter and gaming pony. Fond memories. I miss being able to ride and have horses. My heart horse died from a heart attack only a couple days after getting home from my first year in college. That was 1983, and I haven’t been able to own a horse since.
I love how you show that you take the time for grooming and bonding with your horses and ponies. It's such an important part of the relationship ❤️
Buzz is really a well put together and lovely pony. You picked a winner in Buzz!
Super Pony. Put a cape on him 😊
Buzz is so cute pulling his cart. So well-mannered. You have given him so much confidence.
Well done buzz
How awesome and exciting for you and Kyle. LITTLE BUZZ...YOU'RE THE BOMB!
You have a Winner pony ❤🎠
Yay! “ Buzzie” you are a little
champ
How fun! Buzz looks right at home in front of the cart. Can't wait to see him pull his own cart in the Fourth of July Parade. 😄
You are a typical PROUD Mama 😃 Buzz did so amazing!! He looked like a pro. Can't wait to see more of him pulling a carriage. Maybe with Kyle driving. That was so much fun, I loved it 🥰🐴. Love and Blessings always ❤️🙌 Jennifer
Super video, I’m so envious I always wanted to have a pony like buzz and a cart, we did have hacks, 15.2 and over ❤ that’s going to be marvellous fun with darling buzz, he’s a gem. Must forward this to my daughter, she will fall in love like I have. You so deserve this wonderful wonderful life . Xxx
