Tosca is only four and has not been driven.  I have an oak meadowbrook cart
that I think I need to sell to buy a cart more Tosca's size.  Are you
planning to drive your Icey?  Have you seen this organization?

 Driving for the Disabled  has carting events for folks who use wheelchairs
(and those who don't but have other disabling conditions).  They have
adapted carts for wheelchair use and have some  good techniques for helping
people learn to drive.

I'm surprised how accepting the ponies are.   I had this bright idea that I
could put a vaulting surcingle on Tosca and then have Steph stand beside her
holding onto one of the handles on the surcingle and brushing with the
other.  That turned out not to be one of my better plans.  Stephanie lost
her balance, dropped the brush and ended up hanging fron her horse from her
one good hand.  Tosca's eyes got a little round, but she never moved.

We'll be excited to know how your training is going.

Nancy
