Flora’s training continues and now for the first time she pulls the carriage with her mum, Winnie.

These are Irish Cobs – small horses for carriage work, but calm and friendly. They don’t do prancing and the hackney-style high-step trotting, but they can cope with lorries and tractors bearing down on them on narrow roads and that’s what we need around here.

We use this carriage for weddings and other special occasions locally. (The other week we carried Snow White and her Prince to a ball, no less!)

There’s quite a lot to tackling up carriages – hames and collars, poles and traces, reins and britchen all have to be right. This is just an over-view really – but if anyone’s interested, we’re holding another ‘Introduction to Working With Horses’ one day course next month. Harnessing, hauling, ploughing, etc..
