Today I have been looking up possible trails, routes, and national parks to use. After looking up Amish buggies and how many accidents happen between them and cars every year, frankly, it's scary! From that I have come to the conclusion that I will not be traveling once the sun goes down - that's just asking for trouble.
I know that I will have to take roads from time to time, so I looked up safety equipment and road rules. Apparently, a horse-drawn vehicle is treated the same as any slow-moving motorized vehicle in most states. But you don't need a license plate. However, you do need an orange slow-moving vehicle triangle on the back, lots of reflectors, and proper hand signals while maneuvering. And of course, lights if you're traveling at night; but as I said, Not doing that!
As for finding trails, it's been tough going. Yes, there are lots of trails and parks across the country, but they don't all have routes passable with an 8' long, 6' wide wagon and two horses. So, my wonderful readers, if you have any suggestions or knowledge in this area, please let me know in the comments! You will have my deepest gratitude!
