Frey Carriage Co's Sprint Carts: Smart, Sexy, Slimming and On Sale

Breed Groups!  Here is a nifty idea from our friends at Frey Carriage Co: Sprint Bucks.  If you buy a Sprint Cart before May 31st, 2012, you get $100 off.  If you and a friend both buy Sprints before May 31st, 2012, you both save $200.  If you and a friend and another friend buy Sprints before May 31st, 2012, you each save $300.

 VSE Sprints Now Available
Sparky modelling the Frey Carriage Co's VSE Sprint Cart: comfort for the wee ones and their full sized whips.
As opposed to what we are all used to...while the lovely and delightful 70lb Jillian Lawrence looks as if she's only just about outgrown this vehicle [her knees almost interfere with her hands], I am 5'7".  Where are my legs?  Sometimes those yoga asanas really come in useful.

Very Small Equines!  Finally!  A serious vehicle for your horses!  Not made of re-purposed folding chairs!  Not a toy Meadowbrook!  A Real Vehicle!  Engineered and scaled to fit both horse and human!

If you are just joining this bandwagon, get the full story at: http://hossbiz.blogspot.com/2011/01/frey-carriage-companys-sssc-smart-sexy.html  or contact Frey Carriage Company:

If you tell them I sent you, you might get the special 5 week production rate so you can be hooked and on the road yet this spring, enjoying driving in style.

Oh, joy!

Part 3: Vintage Irish Telly

The final snippet in the series of coach and carriage building from Irish Television's Hands series, first aired in 1978 [although you can buy the entire broadcast on DVD.]  And a bittersweet end it is.  Breem Carriages Ltd in Enniscothy, Co Wexford is no more.  The moral of the story: buy from artisans currently producing carriages.  In America, we are lucky to have Frey Carriage Company.  If you are in the market for a vehicle that can stand the test of time, be a part of our own chapter in history and support our very own craftsmen: www.colonial carriage.com

Part 2 Vintage Irish Telly: Carriage Building

Coachbuilding- five trades in one: wheelwright, blacksmith, body-builder, coach painter, and upholsterer.  Kinda makes you think about the amount of expertise that goes into producing a vehicle.  Then and Now.  The dilemma is there are few craftsmen left to employ in these positions and fewer jobs in which for them to find employment.  Honor tradition and support your local craftsmen.

Vintage Irish Telly: Carriage Building

Hands was an Irish television show that aired in the late 70's and early 80's.  It showcased craftsmen and artisans from around Ireland and is remembered fondly by those who had the fortune to tune into the series.  There are many videos that exist still of the show's featured topics- lacing making, bee keeping, sign writing and the following series on coach and carriage builders: the Breen family in County Wexford.  It is a pilgrimage back in time that shows carriage building is timeless.  Every time we put to and climb aboard a carriage for a drive, we relive the past in the present.  We are a part of living history...here is part one...
