The Hartland Mills Spyder Phaeton’s are beautifully built with traditional methods and we believe are just the best you can buy ANYWHERE, the quality is second to none and the lines of the carriage have been faithfully reproduced from the elegant Mills original carriages. This has been the most successful showing carriage we have built – with Joanne winning many private driving pairs classes and our customers having similar success with their turnouts in private driving, concours & attelages.
These vehicles are built for singles and pairs of either ponies or horses – for single use these carriages have very elegant swan neck shafts with adjustable tug stops & for pairs the carriages have a splinter bar for rollerbolt traces and a wooden pole with stainless steel polehead.
