Our Carriages

We have two Bennington two-wheel carriages equipped with hydraulic pump so that the back can be lowered and, with the tail-gate lowered to form a ramp, a wheelchair user may be loaded to be secured beside a qualified RDA Whip. The wheelchair is secured to the floor by straps both front and back; the rear is raised level using the hydraulic pump and the wheelchair user is in position to take a second set of reins to enjoy a drive.

The small seat on the left may be removed and a full width bench seat put in for the convenience of an ambulant disabled driver to have a drive alongside a qualified Whip.

The two-wheel cariages are pulled by any of the three smaller horses - Maggie, Charlie Brown or Felix.

We have one Bennington four-wheel waggonette pictured above that is drawn by Marmite, the largest of our horses.

The body is hinged so that the rear can be lowered and extending aluminium ramps attached. These ramps are stored in channels under the floor. Once the wheelchair is alongside the RDA Whip the back of the carriage is brought up level by use of the hydraulic pump and the wheelchair is secured to the floor with the webbing straps.

The waggonette has seating in the back for up to four passengers.
