I like that one jingle joys - my mum has an old wheelchair so I think I've just found a use for the wheels! About time our Reggie earnt his keep  ;)   some of the tiny ponies have little harnessed traps up at the traveller site, was going to ask them (the travellers, not the ponies) where to get them so thank you for the link Tiz.

Ooh, thank you for that link.
I have always wanted to put a goat to harness.  Kept one of this years castrated males back (Arnie) with the intention of putting a cart behind him. Was supposed to be going for meat,but he kept looking at mewith a soppy look, and sidling up for a fuss,so had to come up with a good reason for keeping him.

3 for a three seater, but you need to fit bigger castors and get the other goats off it :roflanim:
