As many of you know we have recently started building and selling show carts. I had a person contact me to buy one. She was unsure of what she needed and contacted her trainer to call me. I spoke to her trainer today and she was just using her Jerald as a "guide". she wasn't really sure how to measure shafts ect, but said that her shafts were only 42" on her jerald cart from the single tree to the tip after i told her where to measure. This seems AWEFULLY short to me. She told me to ship out what i felt would fit the horse. She said the mini was a 33" (non drafty) horse. I even looked on Jeralds page and the shortest shafts they had listed were the A cart which were 46".
I have a 33" stallion that wears a 42" blanket..so that's basically only the length of the horse and wouldn't leave much room I think even my 31" stallion would be a little squished...... I guess i just wanted to ask everyone else what their thoughts are on this.... I should go with my gut and send her something longer as in a 46 or a 48" or just make them 42" and hope he fits?? any thoughts??
