Driving people again

[Irishcobs]

I brought a carriage on Weds. But I need shorter traces. I could put more holes in the ones I have but I also need some buckle things, the ones with the loops so I can attach them to the carriage (if you know what I mean) so I want some traces with the rings on the end, but I can't find anywhere that sells just traces, I've done lots of searches on the internet but not found anywhere. Any one know where I can get some?

You coild probably tack them to a local saddlery fo be shortened and altered to have rings on the end, thats what we did with ours which were do long
What carriage is it?

 

[Irishcobs]

Oh that is a good idea, I didn't think of that.
It's a marathon carriage, made by Rombach of Aachen.

We buy all our harness ordered from Rene Schoop in Leek. Is it Zilco type traces you want or leather?

Oooo well done, we need piccies - please

If you want leather traces contact mrhsaddler on here, as he is a driving enthusiast and will know exactly what you are asking for.

Pics are to come as soon as I sort out the traces so I can put pony in it.
It's leather I'm after, reinforced if possible but not essential.
