Cajonat's Potter and Cajonat's Weasley - 2011 Miniature pinto geldings
Potter is the most mischievous little package of pinto-energy I have ever met. Refer to picture on left for proof. If he isn't girly whinnying for hay, or developing creative gaits for tarp traversing, he's getting into trouble by thinking big. He really shouldn't think big, as he is really small, but no one has informed him that he is really small. Conundrum. Minion comparison - definitely Stuart (with a bit of Bob thrown in). ??? - then go see the movie. Smiley icon.
Weasley is the old soul of the two and he knows how to stand quietly and is usually rolling his eyes at Potter. Potter is the new soul of the two and is constantly doing things that Weasley wouldn't even DREAM of doing. Potter knows how to lead quite well, usually as the human tells him, but he occasionally freelances, but usually forgets the reason of the direction change halfway there then comes back - profusely apologetic. Well, most of the time. And pellets. Oh my. Potter lives for pellets. He has learned how to hip check Weasley from the bowl. Constantly. And he is NOT profusely apologetic afterwards. Weasley has the patience of a saint. Someone should really write a book about Weasley and Potter. No wait...

Weasley and Potter....SHOW PONIES!!!
In July 2016 Weasley and Potter attended their first Horse Driving Trials (HDT) as we figured they were trained. Well, mostly trained. They still have lots of sights, strange animals, loud noises and lots of driving books to see and read, but they were doing quite well for two mischievous mini's so we thought it was time. They were steady and sensible. Still had a few green moments but nothing that got us eliminated. And we didn't get them eliminated...although John had a near miss at gate 16...phew....red is on the right buddy! And guess what...by the end of the weekend they were overall Grand and Reserve Champion at the Training Level. The Stone Bridge Driving Club puts on an excellent show...the trails through the woods...words can't describe them. And the people....whoa...so much fun!!
Then the boys <drum roll> debuted as pairs at the Klondike Show. And would you believe they finished middle of the pack out of all the training entries? Wow - the little men were stars. In 2021 Weasley and Potter continue their pairs journey...we couldn't be prouder of these two imps!
