This message is from: "Walker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Does anyone on the Fjord list have any experience with this Quebec based carriage company (just east of Montreal) also known as Voitures Robert & Fils?
I rode in a nice wagonette recently (holds 12 or more driven by a mule team) and would like to order a 4 person wagonette for my 13.2 hand fjord mare to drive but it is reported to weigh 600 lbs - is this too heavy for my fjord to drive single? I would appreciate any opinions anyone on the list might have... It comes with hydraulic brakes and is cutunder with heavy oak wheels with good rubber. I live close enough to drive up there to pick it up. Also, the shafts are metal, more pipelike than the wooden shafts I use with my antique wooden 4 wheel runabout... If I buy it, I will have 2 antique (a two person and a 4 person) 4 wheel runabout carriages for sale in New Hampshire, in excellent condition and a 4 person two seat sleigh. contact me if interested. Thanks, Carol Walker
