You knew this was coming, right?
.
.
Yes, my husband bought the horse drawn carriage/buckboard/grocery delivery van.
.
.
Whatever you want to call it, it’s old, it’s big and it’s cumbersome.
.
.
He wheeled it behind the shed…
.
.
And realizing no one would see it there…
.
.
Moved it out in front of the barn.
.
.
It’s in remarkably good shape, though the leather seat is quite cracked.
.
.
Fully functionally as it can be… without an actual horse.
.
.
And my husband gets a huge kick out of the tiny tailgate.
.
.
So, yeah.
We own an antique horse drawn vehicle now.
🥴

River's world..... 
Well, at least it can’t go in the basement with all his other crap, ahem…..collection, lol.

If you can’t find him this week – check his man- cave / shed. He’ll be designing and patenting a means of attaching a Harley to the carriage.
Think of all the fun rides around the countryside you can now have. Hubby out front in his biker’s helmet, shades and cut-off denim jacket; you in your long, white, flowing cotton dress and tied bonnet, sat demurely in the carriage behind.
(Like a Hells Angels re-write of a Jane Austen novel.😉😂 )

Maybe when the Tourists come by you can invite them in for drinks and a game of pool for a small fee.
Wait! That’s how Bars ate started.

I could offer you a good price on a thoroughbred, but the travel fees would be too high. Does Maine have a standardbred track. Your carriage — it certainly is not a buckboard! — is a bit bigger than the bike they pull on the track, but a retired trotter would be a wonderful carrisge horse to have. And it would mow your grass for free in the summer.

That would mean building another barn.
So…
No!

A lean-to would be sufficient for dummer outings. In winter it could stay in the guest bedroom. 😜

I think it’s cool as hell, though I can’t help but chuckle over the fact that he moved it to a spot where people will see it.

Well, it won’t fit through the barn or cellar doors so there wasn’t much of a choice.
