The Horsedrawn Camp - Moving On . . .

[@alwaessurius8498]

Lived like this on the road for a year back a few years ago - sure miss the lifestyle. Had a couple Clydes pulling our own hand build caravan - real nice wagon, still have the wagon, but someone stole our horses and could never afford new ones - so now we are without. Wagon stored away and living off grid in a small cabin - just not the same - miss the horses - we sure loved them.

@@erhardlux5327 - and folk have the nerve to call us all thieves and vagabonds. They did not get my harness or wagon- thankful for that,but I would have preferred it to loosing the horses - we had 4 - one Clyd stallion, a 4 year Belgian mare, a 5 yr Percheron X and her 6 month Clyd filly - all very well trained and awsome horses (OH and it was a "good Christian" who stole them = just one of the MANY reasons I can't stand Christianity - I am not against the Bible - just the godless Hypocrite Christians). If I can ever afford new horses I would go back on the road and never come off again - that's how I lost them - I let someone -the Christian - talk me into boarding them for a week or two -here while we stayed in an motel - won't ever do that again - should have stayed int he wagon - it was heated with a small heater we had built especially for it - we also hand built it - it is 7' x 16' - very roomy - built it with Pine so it is very light - top is a heavy Canvas from a Bill-board sign- they make great water-proof tops. Yes we also know what it is like to have to piece together harness - and make do with things one finds along the journey - we also worked doing odd jobs - kept life from being dull - ha, ha. Pray you get another "Vardo"- Caravan wagon - if you loved it as much as we, I know how much you are missing it - God's blessing be to you.

I remember that song being recorded in my living room 😊

[@oliverstaf1996]

Who's the artist and what's the name of the song?

[@gracewalsh3549]

@@oliverstaf1996 they weren’t called the Hedgerow Crawlers then and there were more than just 3 people who all just came round and ended up playing one of Pete’s songs. Jerry was playing the whistle, and a very good musician he was too. It was over 20 years ago. I’d known Dave from school and had only just met Pete. It was just a jam session that was recorded. Drew wasn’t there, it wasn’t a band. Pete knows who I am, I’ve just changed my first name 👀

ANTHEM FOR LIFE

[@jainepal4844]

Very confused, I recognize a couple of the wagons,from decades before, just not the people with them?

[@hetaliafanserviceplz]

Did you guys built your own caravans or did you buy them? I would like one in the future so any tips would be great

[@joethomson-drew1875]

hetaliafanserviceplz they build them. Pete does it for a living. Building, decorating and selling them. He’s built 14 so far.

Do the horses feed only on grass and is there any specific type? I'm a potter, my love's a tanner, in Hungary, we've got our marshland, but are arranging so that during the summer we reestablish the tradition of selling off horse-drawn carriage. The other I know of is with the Grey Cattle, but we're looking into horses rather.

[@thomasriding4113]

Do they travel all year ? And currently in the move? Or they settle in same place for long periods ? Would be interested to find out more if any one can point me in right direction

Romany 😂 there nothing of the sort .

[@DoctorBastardo]

@@pegknife Hundreds of Rom and Sinti babies were born in house through forced resettlement and stolen chavvees. They been forced settling travling folk for centuries. Personnally I met many Rom ,and Showman and Irish travlers on convoy sites. Bottom line is the law treats us the same and is threatening us the same so we should surely foster some unity. Kusti.
