Diesel and his brother Willy are a dynamic duo that are everything you are looking for in a safe and fun driving pair. Lets start with their impeccable bloodlines that come from Kateland Farm NY. They have over 30 years experience breeding top quality miniature horses. These are no run of the mill back yard accidents. Each pony is bred for quality conformation, friendly temperaments and great health. The ponies got their elementary driving training at KF farm in Rochester NY both in single and as a pair. Then for 7 years they were owned by one person who drove them for pleasure including trailering to parks, afternoon picnics with friends and even a parade. This owner fitted them with only the best quality harnesses, carriages and a custom trailer that can all be purchased together. Being in her early 80’s she has decided to hang up the reins from driving. The ponies are easy but the lugging of the carriages and harness is not. She asked me to represent them for her as it would break her heart to do so. I had the pleasure of driving them the winter when she first bought them and jumped on the opportunity to drive them again. Our work together through the winter has paid off. At our first competition together at Green Mountain Horse Association we won the Training Pairs VSE division. They also competed that weekend in Dressage and Cones being driven by a first time competitor. This shows how easy and safe these boys are. Diesel and Willy are traffic safe and currently living on a farm with many animals. I have yet to come across somthing that bothers them. They are easy to handle and have good manners for farrier and vet. While having a header is reccomended with a pair, hitching is a one man show. Due to their quiet nature and approchable size I have used them to introduce kids into driving. Everyone wants to be with them! They recently had teeth floated and innoculations are current.
