 I am the founding President of the
Paumanok Driving Club of Long Island in 1983 and am a successful
competitor in both pleasure and CDE's. I am currently chairman of the
Safety Committee of the CAA and regional membership representative as
well as serving on the board, and a life member of the ADS. Together
with Rita, we have gotten countless people involved safely into driving.
I am a representative for many harness and carriage makers as well as a
network of other carriage enthusiasts. We can get you started right.
We have not only sold and ordered new carriages but
conserved, restored and appraised antique carriages. As a member of
the CAA Carriage Showcase committee, I have judged many times and offered
comment on a wide range of vehicles. We have written many articles
and given presentations for the carriage trade. Working closely with
the Long Island Museum of American Art, History and Carriages we have
given seminars and helped train the docents there.
I
am a representative for Smuckers and Yonnie’s beta Bi harness,
Carriage Machine Shop as well as other makers of carriages and carts from
VSE’s to Drafts. I can
assist you with your harness and vehicle needs. Rita’s artwork
spans a wide variety of subjects from quilts to cards. Her work ranges from pen and ink to
one of a kind three-dimensional pieces created from recyclable
items. Portraiture includes
people, horses, and carriages, and your home or stable. Feel free to inquire about cards,
prints, and original work for sale.
