PRESENTATION & SHOW CARRIAGES
SPYDER PHAETONS  
This range of carriages has  been designed for dressage, cone driving, and also private driving and general show driving. Their elegance enhances all turnouts. They are light and roll easily thereby making it easier for drivers to show off their horses paces and making it easier for horses to perform to their full potential.

We can supply and build spyders to suit Shetlands up to 17.2 gelderlanders! Either in single or pair or team, PLUS we offer carriages that can be used by a combination of these.

Hartland Pony Pair Spyder at World Championship

For HDT dressage and Cone driving

Their short coupling helps when driving cones on angles. The passenger seats are designed to split so that the drivers seat may be moved into the middle of the carriage for cone driving if desired.

Other options:

We offer spyders with delayed steering, which may be permanently on, OR switch able on or off.

Turntable brakes.  Available operated by a wheel on the rear of the carriage, OR (AND NOW MOST POPULAR) a foot pedal next to the brake(s) pedal(s).  This can assist with a slightly straighter rein back - always helpful in dressage!  

Grooms rear seat. Available with or without backrests.  A single or double seat, with the necessary mounting steps can be provided.

Spares drawers - whilst most of our spyder come fitted with a spares compartment under the seat, which can be accessed from the front or rear of the carriage, some drivers also like a small drawer which can be neatly placed under the floor below the grooms feet.

Axle widths.  Usually axles are set at 138, 148 or 158 (team width) cms.  We can build the carriages with narrower front axles and also extending rear axles.  Therefore it is possible to carriages that extend to more than one rear axle width.

  All vehicles can be supplier with interchangeable white metal OR brass fittings.
