New Product Alert – We now have Pony Wagons


Recently landed in the Tack Room @ Carriage Trade: FIVE unique and fun pony wagons!

Developed specifically for the Breeder’s Choice pony mods of the Water Horse avatar, the pony wagons are beautifully textured and scripted.

The Pony Beer Wagons come in both singleton and pair versions (sold separately).  The Beer wagons have a driver and a rider pose, so you can bring a friend along to perch on the barrels.  The beer wagons dispense beer by the stein or (pony!) keg as well as pretzels. Just touch and choose from the menu of options.

Beer Wagon

The Pony Florist Wagon features butterfly particles, and touch-change flowers in three of the pots.  It allows a driver and one pony.

Florist Wagon

The Pony Gardening Wagon features lush herbs and a pile of soil as its cargo, and it offers a range of useful gardening objects such as a leaf rake, seeds, a terracotta pot, a water can, and  a hoe, so you can get your favorite gardener all set up for their second favorite activity (the first of course, would be horsing around!)

Gardening Wagon

The Pony Hay Wagon features a mound of hay with a pitchfork, with a sit pose for a rider in the hay mound as well as a driver pose in the seat.  The Hay Wagon drops individual stems of sculpted hay on the roadway as the pony pulls it along.

Please visit Carriage Trade for all of your horse or pony needs!

PLEASE NOTE:

These products are sold Copy, NO MOD, NO TRANSFER.  The reason for this is simple: Our additions to the basic carriage (animations, poses, gestures, and other add-ons) are precisely placed so that they orient the driver, rider, or particle effect precisely. Changing the carriage by trying to do a simple resize for other sized avatars will usually result in an unhappy experience for the purchaser.  We’ve had enough complaints from people trying to resize the pony carriages (who didn’t realize the reason their driver ended up embedded in the seat or worse was because of the scripting), that we decided to not allow modification to the carriages.

Happy Ponying!
