: Horse and Buggy; Photo of a horse and buggy, though the occupants are unknown.

It is a rubber tired buggy, which was better than the average and the horse is well harnessed with a martingale. It is a horse that was used primarily as a third horse on a farm, and probably was not a driver full time. Not many people could afford to keep a horse just as a driving horse. Usually they were a tall, rangy type, that could be a good road horse, and also a third horse on the cultivator and binder., IHS361
