100 Hours - Grazing Meadows Hallelujah
and Shelley Oney
Grazing Meadows Hallelujah has earned her first
100 hours award mainly by driving. She does a lot of
team driving competitions with her full sister, Grazing
Meadows Sugar Delight. We participate at the MN
Horse Expo with the MN Miniature Horse Club. We
participate at numerous fairs that have the multi-
hitch class. I drive her at home as a part of the team
and as a single, and I take her various places to drive
with others. Before hitching up, I do a lot of grooming
to make sure there is nothing in Halley’s fur that
might cause irritation under the harness. I also like
banding her mane and forelock. Just because it looks
so pretty. Once hitched, Halley is a booker, she loves
to go fast and loves driving, whether team or single.
In the next 500 hours? We’ll probably do a lot of the
same things. Single and team driving at home and at
the Expo and local fairs. The grooming and daily care
necessary will continue. I enjoy just being with her.
Halley will be 17 years old this year. In the picture,
Halley is the one with her nose in the air!
100 Hours - Triple K Boogies Sweet
Dreams and Saemira Gray
Triple K Boogies Sweet Dreams or just simply
Fee (which means “fairy” in German), is a sweet,
7 year old, bay pinto mare. She is very patient,
cute, and pretty much bomb proof.
During the 100 hours of time spent with Fee, I
have started to teach her to pull a cart, played
with her, jumped her, and did lots of grooming
and clipping (with help from my mom). I’ve
taught her to be lead without a halter and some
tricks, like rearing, bowing, laying down and
licking my hand.
My dream during the next 500 hours is to train
Fee to be an expert at liberty work and I want to
keep teaching her more tricks. I also want Fee
to become a reliable in the cart so we can take
drives together.
