Hobbyhorse23,
Are you the same person from the CDE4VSE and yahoo/mini group? I love lurking on both those sites.[/QUOTE]
Yep, that’s me! Now that the worst of my competition season is over for 2008 I’m hoping to finish some useful updates to CDE4VSE.com. Keep an eye out for them and please let me know on the VSE forum if you like them!
and yes, I drool over the harness’s at Chimacum Tack. I need to find out if they’ll be compatible as a team before I take the big $$$ plunge. What kind of cart do you recommend for a mini pair (for CDE) economical??? I use an Easy Entry for single.
There aren’t that many available, but here’s the complete list of pairs carriages I have on the website.

My choice would be the Glinkowski for an all-around pairs carriage although the Eagle is a heck of a presentation carriage. The Ite Bte is likely to be one of the most economical but he hasn’t made many so I don’t know if all design elements have been finalized or perfected. It might be worth talking to him though if the Glinkowski is out of your reach.
