KENTUCKY BREAKING CART
Body painted red. Trimmed with brown leather.
Not a carriage in the true meaning of the word, this type of vehicle was intended solely for breaking horses. The very long shafts kept the float body and its occupant at a comfortable distance from the heels of the young horse being schooled, and because of the placement of the seat, the driver was given better control and greater security. This cart could also be used for exercising horses.
Manufactured by the H. H. Babcock Company of Watertown, New York.
Gift of Dr. Stuart Orton, Rahway, New Jersey.
