As they grew nearer I could see it had an added trailer:
The driver stopped opposite us and we had a short chat.
The trap is original and he had made the trailer. It was its first outing:
The girls and Jack Russell looked really happy, thoroughly enjoying their trip out to the corner shop for ice creams:
It was good to see that passing drivers were being considerate and moving slowly giving the pony a wide berth. Also the pony was obviously used to traffic.
I was invited to have a ride. An offer I would have taken up if Penny had been at home but I wasn't sure how she would react being so close to a horse, or the Jack Russell.
Great photos and a lovely piece of nostalgia. Am I right that the wheels are modernized for the roads?
ReplyDeleteMick: Echo of a slower way of life. Looking at the wheels they do look fairly modern.
Deleteoh, that's very cute! glad they were nice enough to offer you and penny a seat, but i know i'd have declined with any of my dogs, too. :)
ReplyDeleteglad penny enjoyed my dogs barking. :)
TWG: I would love to see such sights more often.
DeletePenny would have been fine. Dogs soon get used to horses.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Ah, but would the pony have got used to Penny ;)
