    REBEL - VSE PAIR CART FREY

    OOoohhh...following. I've heard mixed opinions about putting a pair to a 2 wheel vehicle so I'm curious too. And I dream about getting a Frey some day.

    Thank you! Off to check it out.

    Bought a used Amish cart, need suggestions please.

    Side check has worked to stop mine. She just needs a little bit pressure to keep from driving is all.

    I groom dogs for a living and have had a number of them with their tongues hanging out. I'll do you one better, my riding gelding has EOTRH and has had several teeth removed... So his tongue hangs out all the time. Looks really classy when we're riding 😂 I have a Jerald Viceroy I'm currently...

    Trick Training?

    Who has trained their minis to do tricks? I don't have much time to drive while being mom to a new baby so I would like to find new things to do with my minis here at home. Any good training resources or ideas of other fun things to do with my minis would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Drive Me Buggy 2020 Hours

    Caught up! I'm not driving her this week but Candace got 8 miles and some cone work yesterday. A good friend and coworker of my husband has an 8 year old daughter who wanted to borrow a mini to drive for a week while she is out of school. This family rides and drives from the moment they are...

    13 year old mini horse/scary behavior while driving

    It sounds like she is trying to avoid something possibly due to discomfort. Try duct taping pads to the bottoms of her feet for a short drive and see if that helps. Sounds weird but it's a good way to tell if boots will help. I, like Marsha, would suggest boots anyway since it helps with the...

    None of my vehicles have tug stops. I think they would be more important in a cart you don't use a breeching with. Your footman's loops, holdback straps, and breeching n negate the need for tug stops I believe. I have never replaced wooden shafts with metal but I imagine it would work with a...

    IMO if the wheels aren't rubbing you're good in an EE cart because the wheels don't "turn". Just watch kids/passengers that they don't get hands or feet into the wheel. Keep an eye on that crack. They can go from tiny to split in half in a big hurry if there is pressure in just the right place...

    I have this same set-up so it was no problem to go out and take a few photos. Happy driving and welcome to the forum!

    Drive Me Buggy 2020 Hours

    Not many drive where we are either. It's like we are our own parade when we go out. It's totally acceptable at this point. Even my quiet and confident drivers will call out once and a while to see if anyone will answer them. It's just nerves. I honestly don't know how people take to horses...

    Kingston saddlery has a metal tree for under $50. I switched my wood tree to their metal one. It has hooks for slot end traces and loops for bc quick release traces.

    Here is a link to a shop that has a couple of different style trace holders. They also have hook end single trees if you'd rather just swap out the single tree. https://www.ivccarriage.com/collections/shaft-singletree-hardware

    There are a couple of things you can do. For the single tree you can purchase spring loaded metal keepers from most carriage shops. They will offer more security. Or you can replace the single tree with a metal one with hooks to slip the trace slots over. That is what I did. Can you post a...

    Your Drive Day

    So sorry you are plagued with fires! Our local guys just headed out to your area last week for 21 days. Hopefully with help coming from many places they can start to get some containment. Living in a valley we get smoke and ash during fire season as well and I bet it's nothing like you are...
