When I went to test ride a horse. Several states away so a plane ticket was involved, they told me of all previous health history including injuries. If I were selling I would disclose at the time...
I have been shopping for a spider phaeton and they looked like your carriage without the dickey seat. The older carriages is was common for turning the front wheel to get to the step.

I was at a clinic and heard horror stories of several accidents at the...
I just measured my horse tip of the should to longest on the rump and she measured 63" but I am guessing a 72" blanket would fit her. I am probably getting 80" shafts
I would ignore the blanket...
I have a black friesian cros. I am getting a painted cart with a burgundy seat. My apron will also be burgundy to match the seat for a proper turnout. Not just any color I decide.
I have a brown...
