A friend's father had a cutter, yup, a one horse open sleigh, up in the rafters in a shed.
I should ask my friend if he still has that. I doubt if the building is still standing.

Dashing through the snow, in a one horse open sleigh.............never saw one here, as it just doesn't snow enough for people to have had them.
Always thought it would cool to take a ride in the snow on one.

My mother's father had sleigh bells. They just disappeared.

If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles

My mother's father had sleigh bells. They just disappeared. I have seen sleigh bells. They were on a leather strap about a foot and a half long... For such small bells, they could sure create some racket when you shook them...
