    Yep ....... with the drivers seat up high in front (and it'll accomidate 
2 "expierenced drivers" and I bill us ). It'll actually seat 6 
passengers and 2 drivers.  However I probably won't put that many in the 
carriage -- would like to just have 2 or 3 passengers at a time.   I don't 
want to tax Mr X too bad ..... SEDONA has never had to pull more than 2 
people at a time either in the small carriage.  I MIGHT have to look for a 
bigger horse to pull it although I think X will do OK with just a couple of 
passengers ..... AND, we'll never have this carriage off the road to it'll be 
easy to pull on the pavement.
    I alreay have another job on January 10th for a wedding -- and a parade 
in Lake Worth in December (riding "parade Officials").  I think it's going to 
be a nice "asset" for my carriage service for sure!!

    Our "runabout" carriage (2 passenger) came from PA -- the 4 passenger 
carriage came from KY - both built by the Amish.  We've traded in the 4 
passenger -- keeping the 2 passenger carriage (in case I want to go to 
another show ).
