Milton is recovering well from his cart incident. A small bump remains on the outside of the offending leg, but minor swelling is gone. Rehab helped along by excellent bodywork from Anita Miller of Robin Hood Therapy, LLC. [Delay Of Game] & [A Bout of Bodywork]
The cart, on the other hand, does not self repair. We are using this time to get a vehicle more suited to Milton.
The easiest thing would be to buy another jog cart. Light, inexpensive, easy to find. Unfortunately, Milton prefers to have as little weight as possible on his back. Hence driving over riding. Since a jog cart has two wheels, the shafts balance on the horse’s back. Also, it tends to bounce around since our backyard has more variable terrain than one would find in a ring.
Our marathon cart has four wheels, so it supports its own weight and thereby takes the weight off his back, but he thinks it’s heavy. He’s not wrong. [New Equipment: Carriage]
The ideal conveyance would have …
The lightness of a jog cart,
The four wheels of carriage,
But not the price tag of a fine harness buggy.
Onwards!

Never knew carts could be so technical. Btw, enjoyed the link to Armenia’s 4,000 year-old carts! Thanks — MM
I can only imagine how much variety was available when they were our mode of transportation.
