I have always called them gigs, and I learned my horsey stuff from old folks. I always hoped Rosie would like a wee pony, which she would then grow out of and I could use for driving, but no, she prefered boys!I bought the kayak instead.clairesgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717145894222550969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-69708872855890033582006-11-22T01:48:00.000+00:002006-11-22T01:48:00.000+00:00I've also not heard of this being called a gig.

However, I looked it up at Dictionary.com and sure enough, that's what it's called. I thought maybe it might be called different things in different countries, and maybe that is so, but gig is definitely one thing it's called.<br /><br />I no longer have a horse (other than the one tattooed onto my right shoulder) but still have my saddles, other tack, and my dream to have horses again one day. I would totally love to have one I can ride and drive too, and a gig to use on the days I want to drive. I for sure would do the "go for groceries and such in my gig" thing. It really would suit my personality.Alice (in BC Canada)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09512112540193806978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-30457999863633199152006-11-21T19:11:00.000+00:002006-11-21T19:11:00.000+00:00Wildside, I think a 'gig' just means a wee cart, u...Wildside, I think a 'gig' just means a wee cart, ususally a 2 wheeler, to be technically correct I should say 'here we have a Bennington and a Seaton'. there is a big movement in America for working horses, I have a really good book by this guy;<br />http://www.smallfarmersjournal.com/.docs/pg/lynnsbio.html<br />Madcap, I used to do that! you need somewhere quiet to tie the horse up and a really understanding shop owner!<br />Becky, very kind! thankyou!clairesgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717145894222550969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19868613.post-88907404080763654362006-11-21T16:44:00.000+00:002006-11-21T16:44:00.000+00:00I know what you mean.
