=modern. It is 2008. Clearly in the modern age. The United States of America have just elected President Elect Obama. How modern can you get?
Safety is an integral part of modern activities. The Saddlechariot is all about safety. Horsedrawn vehicles are inherently dangerous if you are on them and if they are attached to a horse. The Saddlechariot lets you get off, and take the vehicle off the animal, instantly. It is that simple. Click on this link to see the video.
These children are being introduced to a safe , easy equestrian activity in Balsall Heath, and they love it. With no previous experience they can hop on and enjoy. The instant vehicle release make this possible.
NFU Mutual Insurance, say the Saddlechariot is "a glorified horsedrawn vehicle but with extra safety
mechanisms fitted". Anything with extra safety mechanisms fitted, is by
definition, safer than anything without.
Safety really matters. Fun is just a bonus, but given a choice between
bombing around safely on any terrain and worrying what to do if the animal is panicked, I know which I choose. Beaches, city centres,
mountain and moorland, country lanes; the Saddlechariot is fun anywhere becuase it is safe everywhere.
Easy. Every year the papers moan on about dumbing down exams. I'm proud
that I have dumbed down driving. It is easy . Putting a totally green pony in a
Saddlechariot takes under two hours. Training drivers, under a minute
as you can see by clicking this link . Mike Ashton, a non horseman, was
driving a Saddlechariot on his own cross country and cantering in under
a minute in total safety , grinning from ear to there. Mike is PR
officer for the Country Land and Business Association, North West, an
organisation that really understands the country. Read his article .
I build Saddlechariots for people and ponies. People means people. I never discriminate. I don't build vehicles for the disabled . I build vehicles for people.
People and ponies. Ponies covers from 7 to 17hh and we can do bigger and smaller. Lets not forget Henry , the pony this was all built
around. He wants the same things we want. The safety factors work just as well
for him, the vehicle is the easiest to pull by miles and he doesn't
think whips, blinkers, bits or any of that nonsense is fun.
So I use
Natural Horsemanship while Henry practices Natural Peoplemanship and
does pretty much what he likes.
People means people. I will open up equestrian activities to anyone who likes ponies.
I want recognition for the originators of the forward seat, who contrary to the establishment position, are African American jockeys. I feel a monument to the real originators of the Forward Seat would be appropriate to launch at the London Olympics.

I am always happy to discuss the saddlechariot and happy to demonstrate to anyone what it can do.
The website is having a total revamp as the saddlechariot has reached a new stage. Production is now standardised and consistent.
Now, we have a vehicle and harness system that wil fit any pony or horse perfectly, that is fun, safe and easy, and can be delivered by courier anywhere in the world.
Perfect fit is guaranteed even for the full collar.
