Ever wonder what it's really like inside the commercial horse-and-carriage industry? Let me, a long-time carriage driver, take you on a journey through the ins and outs of life on the carriage. Learn what the horse's and driver's lives are really about, what it's like for the horse and driver driving in all kinds of weather and get a comprehensive cross section of actual rides from my last nine years on the carriage in the Birthplace of Rock-N-Roll. With a little poetry interspersed throughout, this book is a meaningful study of my relationship with my carriage horse who is my main concern from the minute the horse is in my care until dinner has been served and the horse is on his way to sleep. Learn about how the general public, in an urban environment, reacts to having horses available for interaction and how often fears become soothed. You will read about proposals and weddings, children's thrills upon learning a lit-up, Cinderella-style carriage is all for them, replete with my two Chihuahuas, Muriel and Bella, as well as family rides, crazy rides and the day-to-day life of a carriage driver in Memphis, TN. Relax and enjoy a thorough exposition on caring for a working horse who brings so much joy to so many people.
