Sweet music compared to that of a four stroke engine. You can even hear the dog bells while under way. Besides, those old Parkers might thank you for taking them back to a time where they belong.
That was the first job I had out of highschool was driving a mule drawn carriage for a quail plantation . The left mule was around 1000lbs and the right mule was about 1500lbs. needless to say the carriage always wanted to steer to the right lol . We never had one guest bring a parkers though I was always hoping someone would show up with one . Out of a whole season only 2 guest brought sxs .
