My Nana used to tell me the story of when she was about16 and her dad told her to stay in the cart but the horse was spooked and nanna had to grab the reins and wrestled the horse back under control and trotted it back to the store. She said her dad was so proud of her. There is much more to the story but I always loved hearing her tell it. Especially the bit where her dad turns to the dude next to him and says "see no reason why a lady can't drive."
Dragon maid I assume based on your username that after this incident, your family went from driving horses to riding dragons
Drive like a lady
I’m proud too
I'm sure a cart was a welcome treat for a servant who was on their feet all day.
We think so too :)
The horse was the cutest thing I’ve seen today! He needs to be protected at all costs.
Pony
It's a Welsh pony in Section A.
He remindes me of what I always imagined Merrylegs from "Black Beauty" to look like. Very handsome pony!
As I have some minor hearing difficulties, I love the closed captioning. It seem to have been done by a human rather than voice recognition software. It actually makes sense! instead of being a garble of nonsense. Thank you!
We always try to take the time to add closed captioning to all of our videos and it makes us very happy that you find them useful. Thanks!

I kinda wanne drive around in a little cart myself now 😀
So do we!
Her voice makes me feel relaxed!!!
My favourite voice is mrs.Crocombe
I Love How She Says ' She Likes To Find Any Excuse To Go For A Ride On The Cart.' Haha. This Was Very Educational, I Love The Learning From This Channel.
We had a governess cart for my cob, they're actually pretty dangerous as you can only get in & out at the back. So the driver is completely stuck if the pony bolts (my Dad had this happen to him, my pony somehow threw his bridle off. Luckily he trotted straight home without incident), you also need a groom to hold the shafts at the front down when getting in & out to stop it tipping backwards. I'm glad we didn't have that cart for long!
So happy to see no tight check rein on that pony. He was free to use his head and neck.
We take the safety and comfort of horses at our historic places very seriously, Annette.
English Heritage That makes my heart very happy. Your horse's are lucky to have such compassionate and correct care givers.
please make more cooking videos the Victorian way i loved them so much
Interesting the way she said "walk on" was the same way that my horse riding teachers here in Australia say it
This tiny cart is so adorable!
Imagine a 16 year old time traveller driving one, screaming: "Yeet horses, yeet!"
That would have been quite the privilege then. Something many of us now take for granted and even curse! Makes me appreciative for what I have🙂
I love "the Victorian way"
Thank you for this video!
Loved this! So much more informative than the "grooming a horse" video, which skipped pretty much all actual teaching opportunity. The side-saddle video, if the follow-up video is counted, was also quite excellent. Thank you.
Yesss a new video!
Oh, she's doing the journey from Audley End to Saffron Walden ... used to walk it regularly (from railway station to town) about 40 mins. Though the big house is a lot closer to town .. maybe 20 mins walk each way?
How wonderful!
I love these videos! :)
Fascinating💫
Absolutely beautiful & appealing ,pl upload such more videos thanks
That looks like fun!
Thats pretty much same way I wax taught to drive a pony cart when I was a child in the 1960s & that was also a Governess cart....
Marvelous
I want that little cart! And I wouldn't mind if Milo came along with it, lol.
Loved this. I’ve been curious about how reigns work
Reins
@@wholeNwon Lines. lol
What breed of horse was most used back then i wonder ?
Lovely :)
Oh I wish we could go by little pony cart like this today! I can't drive a car but I have had riding lessons. I would have loved to learn how to drive a charming little pony like Milo, and get about in a smart cart for errands. Leaving these ponies and carts behind ISN'T progress!
You actually can buy a governess cart today, but they are pretty expensive. You would also need to buy an already trained horse or pony if you are inexperienced with driving. I would Google for a horse driving instructor near you. They can teach you everything you need to know for having such a setup with an animal.
What’s the stick for?
Too true. And now in 2018 as a young lady I too enjoy the countryside by jumping astride my Kawasaki and blowing away the frustrations with a nice ride.
Nice video but the best part was the intro read by Kathy !! :) she has the best voice... love her
Goodbye summer 2017 😭
8 CHILDREN OOF I can barely watch two haha that governess needs an award
She looks and sounds very familiar
I've never been to the UK and when ever I watch something like this it makes me home sick. Makes me wish my ansestors didn't venture to Colonial America for business opportunities and end up staying.
Welsh pony in section A?
What was that other thing she was holding? Looked like a whip 😳
It's a crop. It's an extension of the hand and is used to direct the horse and communicate.
i was just wondering, is the actor left handed? i noticed that she held the reins in her left hand. or maybe it's something that all drivers are supposed to do? i know squat about horses.
also, what is the whip (or whatever it's called) in her right hand used for? she didn't use it in the video, so i was just curious.
Often, a whip is never actually used except as a visual cue to the horse to encourage it to move faster. You don't need to touch the horse - just giving the whip a bit of a flick and wave behind the horse will make it want to get away, and so it quickens it's pace.
Why did she hold a whip ?
to encourage the horse to go forwards, like when you are lunging a horse especially a lazy one (like some of mine) you may need to have a whip to wave behind the horse to make them to go forward - the same applies to driving a horse.
Aside from the obvious, it's useful to chase dogs away from the horse/pony.
She's doing it correctly if right handed.
I was afraid that you were going to whip the horse when I saw that riding crop in your hand. Really glad you didn't.
What crop?
How leuvely!
Its all fun and games until the horse takes a massive dump
Yes and in a cart you get a birds eye view. lol
Well, it's good for the roses.
I would love to have a horse instead of driving a car....
My guess is that you have never cared for one.
I hate using whip in driving it hurt the horse . what is your opinion.
"IT" won't hurt the horse if YOU don't hurt the horse. Also seemingly you do not have a clue how to drive a cart, just want to troll. :)
Too bad the closed cations don't spell reins correctly! It's NOT spelled reigns!!
Why is no one talking about how attractive John is
The noseband is too low and nowhere near tight enough. The traces appear too long, and the breeching too tight.
I hope that whip is just for show, and that you don’t really use it!
Mel Bonthuys what’s wrong with a whip?
Remember that when you are in the cart, you cant use your legs way a rider does, to increase horses speed up through the paces....the driving whip takes place of riders legs, you arent thrashing horse with it, 9 times out of 10, you either just flick it out over horse/pony as you use your voice, the other time, if they arent paying attention a light tap on the bum gets them moving on....you never want a driving horse to be scared of the whip, so you arent ever going to hurt them with it....
There are people that don't like the Victorians? But why??
Poor horsey
He's actually is good condition, especially for what we see in ponies nowadays, where people will buy them and just let them sit in a pasture.
Be animal friendly 🙂
Poor horse Ik some might horses might be well treated and fed but still it’s holding on to ur cart with u inside
I know it all. I know it all. Some people hit there horses .-.
