However I probably won't put that many in the carriage -- would like to just have 2 or 3 passengers at a time. I don't want to tax Mr X too bad ..... SEDONA has never had to pull more than 2 people at a time either in the small carriage. I MIGHT have to look for a bigger horse to pull it although I think X will do OK with just a couple of passengers ..... AND, we'll never have this carriage off the road to it'll be easy to pull on the pavement. I alreay have another job on January 10th for a wedding -- and a parade in Lake Worth in December (riding "parade Officials"). I think it's going to be a nice "asset" for my carriage service for sure!! >-> Buddy and I drove to Arcadia this morning to look at them - ours will be >-> built by the Amish in Ohio ..... then shipped down to us. > Yeah the build a lot of them there.

We've traded in the 4 passenger -- keeping the 2 passenger carriage (in case I want to go to another show ). --- * Origin: Home of Mr X's 'XTRAORDINARY CARRIAGE SERVICES!
