Time does fly. Sometimes we actually lose track of it, and all the things we have done, and when! This was the first time we did the tandem skijor - January of 2018. We have done this several times since then, and it is way past time to do it again!

2025 was another year of adventure - that's a good word, as adventures can go either way - whoo hoo, or...holy crap! We always hope for the whoo hoo, and for the most part, we have that, and we are both old hats at dealing with the other. Maintain a sense of humour, and be grateful for the good stuff!! We wish you ALL a very Happy New Year, may 2026 be filled with WHOO HOO!!

Pretty things. It has been a bit of a crazy time over the last month. The head harness maker was down and out for almost three weeks of November, and with that, boy, is she behind! She has been back at full capacity for a while now though, and that sewing machine is humming!! She apologizes to all that have been waiting patiently, and to all of those who will have to now!! The number of orders that have flooded in since posting the info video have been a bit overwhelming - so honoured by that, and with that, her new motto is - "just keep sewing, sewing, sewing"!! And thank you, to each and every one that has ordered, and also, if there are any that have messaged and not heard back, message again!! If there are any that have put down deposits, and not heard back, message again!!!!! Trying to keep track of everyone is far more difficult than the process of making the pretty things!!!

Wishing all of our clients and friends a most wonderful Christmas.

Tonk discovers "singing" bears. He of course, knows bears well, having maybe...16 of them in his closet? First time he has heard a peep out of any of them. We think he liked them. !

The two big bosses at PPP. Both "older", but both still as...wonderful! She made me (Kelly) type that.

Info on our skijoring harness. Another detail that was not mentioned in the video, is the resistance to forward motion of the skier. The harness being "fixed" along the girth line provides that. Lastly, and again, there is minimal discomfort with this design, and they are not "painful" for the horse.

Time flies, as did Tonk! Well, for a short bit he did! Supertonk's 2.6 million view video from 2017. Ten years we have been making harness, and helping folks from all over the world get skijoring. We think ten years of happy comfortable horses sort of speaks volumes. If you are looking for "the right" equipment with knowledge behind it, you came to the right place.

We will be making some new videos as soon as we can - but this one, from 2017 shares the "reasoning" of our system choice. Will say again, in ten years, and multiple hundreds of rigs - not ONE person has been dragged or injured in any way due to "being connected to" the horse. The use of the word "dangerous" might stem from a lack of understanding. Next video will be about the harness itself, as the "D" word has actually been used to describe the harness now too!! OIY.

More info on the system. More to come.

Our Story

We are, Patty’s Pony Place. We began our business in 2011 with imported carts and harnesses. In March of 2012, Kelly designed and built his first carriage, and he has continued from that point on to introduce more ingenuity into the design of miniature horse carts and carriages than has been seen in the industry for a very long time. His traditional knowledge of horses, combined with his knowledge of suspension, and basic safety concepts, were all key to what he builds. He developed knock-down shafts for safe winter sledding - bolt-on suspensions for steel EE carts, I (Patty) have taken the lines on many fronts - learning upholstery in short order, manning the website and the now, three FB pages I have. I have done all the photography, and videography for the past three years now, and a bit of a designer in my own right, creating some pretty fun outfits for my Tonk, and developing a skijoring harness that has led to all sorts of wonderful things, including almost four million video views. We have both been working with horses for the greater part of our lives - Kelly with many years with draft horses, learning from the men who had worked with them all of their lives. Myself, flat racing as a youth, gymkhana, and pleasure riding, and spending 10 years learning all I could about the Tellington-Jones Equine Awareness Method - then learning how to drive from Kelly. Our history is traditional knowledge - that is also our “credentials” - along with our innate respect of the horse, and the “joy” aspect of having them in our lives. These two things are the base of what we design, and what we promote. Traditional knowledge - the laws of physics as pertaining to the working ability of the horse, and finally, to help people develop a calm, rational approach to driving.
