Cette voiture hippomobile, qui pouvait transporter des chiens, est en très bon état et superbe avec ces couleurs.......mais il valait mieux qu'il fasse beau pour l'utiliser.........magnifique prise de vue, Jean-Claude !

Always nice to see them in their real settings. Carrages in every way should find their places to the castles where they belong. I did see a collection from over all Europe and often had these thoughts

This is very interesting. I guess these type of carts were used to transfer hunting dogs...I always enjoy learning/seeing something new to me historically-thanks J_C.

You are right, my friend: "A dogcart (or dog-cart) is a light horse-drawn vehicle, originally designed for sporting shooters, with a box behind the driver's seat to contain one or more retriever dogs. The dog box could be converted to a second seat." (Wikipedia)

I like the old carriage, but not the "sporting shooters", so I don't mention them ;) Thanks you for you interest about my images, Barb, take care of you!

On the other hand, new horse-drawn carriages are rare.

J'ai appris tout récemment ( merci la télé !) qu'il existe des habilitations officielles pour pouvoir conduire des calèches comme celle-ci, et que ce mode de déplacement est en pleine recrudescence, en notre 21ème siècle : la nature humaine !!! Une belle photo, J-Claude, merci pour le partage ! 🧑👍
