Do they have a web page?

The love of the outdoors and the animal won over. I got the cart hooked up and did some picking up around the yard.

Greensboro, is very close to Jonesboro. About 8 miles north. I choose to use Greensboro as a location because it is the name of the area,where I live. Greensboro was a town before Jonesboro grew. If one looks at an old map Greensboro apears and Jonesboro doesn’t. Enter the railroad. The rails came and Jonesboro grew. Greensboro disappeard. I once owned a mom and pop grocerystore in the area of Greensboro, and I have tried to not let Greensboro be forgotten. The hiway is still marked Greensboro Road.

My mother, who is pretty versed in alot of this showed me that I need to use a belly band, to keep the “shafts” from going to high. The cart saddle is illustrated in an african styled cart. My mother self taught herself in the early 80’s to drive a miniture horse. With much work she pulled off a “west coast champion driving horse”. She is now 75 and lives a couple of hours away from my self. She handed me a box of extras that will do me for a while. Straps, pads, rings , buckles. This thing is really coming together. This never would have happened with-out this great forum and its sharing members. Ya’ll give yourselves a pat on the back.

i dont have a pic of the cart. Although it wouldnt take but a minute. But I havent been able to post any pictures on this site?? The single tree is needed. I first thought that it woulnt be, but there is a lot of movement at the beams even with the “tree”. Good luck with the adopted donkey!!

[menageriehill]

yes, between the drop rings and the cinch will be a loop and buckle for the beams. also of course there will be a single tree connecting the cart.

the pack saddle that I made looks much like the saddle in the picture. I padded the wooden part (paddle) of my saddle with some extras from a washable pad that I had. I was going to go with a single cinch. It is going to work with a collar thatI am using to hook up to beams of (another homemade) cart. I put tools/ firewood in the cart. The cart is an old Air Force bomb trailer/ made into a yard cart/ now donkey cart, for my 800 lb donkey. I have to save $$$ and use what i have as much as possible. The cart will be used much like those of 3rd world countries. And, Thank you for the reply.

it seems to me that the wood in the handle effects the cost.
