Visit for information on carriage types, manufacturers, resources, a fine collection of archived articles relating to, but not limited to: rain aprons, foot warmers and accessories, and absolutely everything you ever wanted to know about copal, an ingredient in coach varnish found predominantly in trees on the Zanzibar coast.
The site has an elegant presentation of articles from The Hub and Carriage Driving Monthly that provide superb insights to all matters carriage. This is a site to bookmark and return to, because one visit is not enough. There is so much information it is a little overwhelming. Eighteen pages devoted to copal seemed indulgent, but skimming over it. I found it worthy of a more detailed look. If it is detail you are searching for, try sixty two pages on the evolution of the trap.
I detect the stamp of Susan Green all over this site. Ms. Green is nothing if not thorough [her book on driving tandem is a mere 362 pages]. No detail is left out, and some very interesting segues are included not only within the site, but within the archived articles as well. Perusing through it is an excellent way to spend a snowy day.
Kind Regards,
