Some Assembly Required

without comments

pioneer-forecartWe purchased two new Pioneer Forecarts for our draft horses.  Pioneer makes very heavy duty reliable horse-drawn equipment.  As you can see the carts are going to require some assembly!  These are going to be cross country training and exercise carts and can be used to pull trailers, hay bails, disks, etc.  Fully equipped with hydraulic brakes and a sun canopy.

Hopefully, we’ll get the horses in really good shape with a bit more exercise.

Stay tuned for pictures of the completed pr0ject.

This is our Park Surrey that we had John Lennon at Great Northern Livery Company build for us a couple of years ago. John is an amazing craftsman located in Greenville, Wisconsin. He currently has 67 different body styled vehicles with at least a three month backlog of work.
