'New" Spider Phaeton

In October Rhea traveled to Eagle, NE to pick up a wonderful Spider Phaeton Carriage. This carriage was built in the 1930's and lived on Mackinac Island (between the peninsulas of Michigan) until a few years ago. Marjean McIntyre (of Camptown Harness) purchased it from an estate sale and had it fully restored to museum quality. She drove it a few times, then stored it.....now it is a prized possession of Terdal Farm. Cote' is having a lot of fun driving it down Harvard Avenue in Bixby, OK. We prefer to drive on Sundays as the traffic is light then, but have been known to skip around during the week as well. The carriage came finished in our favorite color and even has a 'pairs pole' for our future drives when our next horse is trained. We are looking forward to many years of fabulous driving with this carriage.....we may even compete in a year or two!

Erik rides Cote'

Sunday, November 16, 2008

Erik got really brave this week and snuck in a ride on Cote'. He figures this is going to be his horse next while we wait for Baby to have her baby. Not to mention Rhea will be busy with her new horse Chistoso who will arrive in January. Don't they make a handsome pair?

To see Rhea's newest prize go to http://www.walnutcreekandalusians.com use the side bar site map to find horses for sale, go to the third horse down named Chistoso and there he is!!! We are hoping for a matched pair to drive and ride together.
