BINGARA HDT New Vehicle Release Report 2009

Judy Meredith and Jenny Granger  driving Baringa Time at the recent Horse Dtiving Trials event in BINGARA NSW.

They were trialling the new innovation sulky made by Chris Snook of Upper Bingara made to give a safer ,softer ride with great manoeuvrability and balance. It is easily packed into a bay of your horse float. A great product from a local builder to help more people have competition compliant vehicles.  This sulky weighs under 100kg. In the past many people were driving their ponies in vehicles too heavy for them, especially when adding the driver and or friend, or the vehicle used was so light it was unable to stand up to the task of competition and made it very difficult for the pony.
