    Yes on the VCR -- I'd really really appreciate any video you can send me 
to look at (and, if you want it back I'd make sure to send it back to you)

    There isn't any place locally where horse magazines can be bought -- I 
get what I get (EQUUS and HORSE ILLISTRATED by mail).

    My carriages I bought from individuals ...... the harness stuff mail 
order (JEFFERS and CHICKS).  The leather harness we use for "good" came with 
the first carriage we bought.  The individuals had no idea what they had 
(first one came from a widow who was selling her husbands stuff - second one 
from another individual who had advertised it in the Ft Myers newspaper 
classified ads).
    Our blacksmith just gave us a mail order catalog for parts for our 
carriage .... maybe they would know.
    Anyway, thanks for all your help ...... I'll certainly appreciate any 
video you might send along ....
