least I didnt end up buying the horse to this time!!Whoops! That's taking impulse buys a bit far!
Feels great doesn't itI love impulse shopping!
No, the tugs (loops they are resting in) just support the shafts, They cannot fall out because the traces are what the horse is pulling the cart by and unless a trace breaks (or both) the shafts cannot come out of the tugs. If your traces are too long then the shafts won't be far enough into the tugs like that photo.So the friction between the wood and/or leather and the traces is all that keeps the cart on?
