Dove’s Minicamelot, LLC, of Greenfield,
IN., in conjunction with JG Stables of Noblesville,
IN., was proud to present an American Miniature Horse Driving Drill Team at the
Indiana Hoosier Horse Fair and Expo, 2007.
Most
equine drill teams are based on similar type horses and/or similar dress.
Our drill team was there to demonstrate, not only the intelligence and
skill of the miniature horse, and their ability to learn and follow
instructions, but also the versatility of these animals and the variety
driving options available including different cart options and appropriate
dress.
Many of the carts can be made more versatile by adding or deleting
parts – for example – a Roadster Cart can be, by adding the basket, made
into a Pleasure Driving Show Cart and the dress of the driver lends to this
description.
Originally
nicknamed AWK (Are We Krazy?), we progressed (or digressed ) to
MiDSnof (Mini Drill in Snow is no fun). However, we finally evolved into
what we would like to call "The Mini Spinning Wheels"
.
From the pictures below, I am sure you can tell we succeeded at what was our
primary goal; we had fun!!!
WINTER PRACTICE
AND THEN...the Show!!!

Look for the Miniature Driving Drill Team to show up at area events such as
America's Pets at the Indianapolis State Museum in June, the Indianapolis Pet
Expo in November, and maybe an event near you. Check out our Event
page for more details.
