Hi, Linsey, why not come and see us at Wix, 22 October, if you can? You can have a guided tour of what people are using and talk through the pros and cons while making sure your choice reflects your planned activities. Sound good?
Do call me after 9 October if you'd like a chat?

(If you haven't already had a look, see www.mikewatts.com for pics of what people use, indoors and out, at our events in East Anglia.)

Hi Lynsey, we are very close to you in Weeley and have a few carriages you could come and see and get some ideas of what you might need. (happy to talk you through it but I havent got any for sale!!)

email me on nicolettepurplezzz@hotmail.com, remove z's if that would be helpful.

Hi Welcome to the forum
Sounds like you need a 3 phase marathon vehicle. This will enable you to do anything you want really with no restrictions on where you can and can’t go, plus gives you the option to have a go at indoor comps. There is all different types of 3 phase carriages out there so browse through the net and see what is best for you and then go from there..
Good luck

Hello all

I am rather new to the forum although having lurked for a while. Having recently had my 14hh gypsy cob broken to drive I am looking for my Christmas present ... A cart for him to pull! I was therefore hoping that someone could give me some help as to what type of cart. We will mostly be doing driving on roads with the odd track here and there with myself and one other sitting up front (if i could fit a couple of others in the back even better but not essential!)

i would also like to do some indoor driving with him for fun as we are very local to Wix where they have monthly events. I know there are restrictions on axel widths in order to compete indoors. Is there a cart out there which will satisfy all my needs? Any advice gratefully received!
