Elegant 1890 Essex Trap available in CA

I have an awesome antique carriage listed on eBay currently with an opening price of $4100 (no reserve) and plenty of pics available. This carriage was completely refurbished in MA in 2003 and won an award shortly after. It includes antique lamps and is set-up for single but could likely have a bar added and used for a pair if you want. Hasn’t been used since I bought it in 2005 but stored inside, there are some minor cosmetic areas to be touched up (detail/pics in eBay listing) but it is in great shape and would look fab w a curvy Morgan pulling it. Also a brand new/still in box custom made carriage harness for a 14.2-15.1 Morgan or similar body style.  The carriage is located at David Young’s farm in Auburn, CA. Please email if you have questions or want to go see it. Thanks!

2003 Bay 14.3 Gelding. Wonderful temperament, great personality. Handsome. This gelding is ‘Mr.Manners’ and is Amateur ready, kid safe. Shown lightly in 2007, never finishing lower than 4th in both Open and Junior Horse Hunter Classes. ‘Quinn’ won the large 4 year old qualifier at NY Regional last fall. Rides and Drives (with many cross country miles to his credit). Quinn was recently shown at the Western NY Morgan Show in the 13 & Under Hunter division by a young lady who had ridden him only 4 times at home. The pair came away with a 4th in the pleasure class, and a 5th in the equitation class. Both classes had 10+ entries. They were the only team to compete in a snaffle bit. This is a very good quality horse with a strong training base behind him. Priced at $12,500. You can see video of a training session with this horse from February at www.scottfieldstables.com on the sales list page. Quinn will be available for test rides at the upcoming Syracuse International Horse Show.

Accident at a Show-What do YOU do?

Many of us that attend shows have unfortunately witnessed driving accidents, either in the ring or on a course.  Although often times there are professional horsemen and women nearby to assist the driver and take control of the situation, there are instances where help is needed by the non-professional bystander.  I am one of those non-professional individuals and the one time when I did need to help, I felt completely helpless; fumbling around and trying my hardest to not make the situation worse.
