In July David and I spent three great weeks traveling in Alberta and in the process dropped in on a
carriage driving shop where we had purchased a whip online the previous Christmas. The shop is called
Equi-Market. It is located a short drive south of Calgary in Okotoks. We had a great visit, found the
prices very reasonable and purchased several items. In the process of our visit we talked about the need
for a leather spares kit but wanted to keep within a budget. In response Carolyn, the owner,
commissioned one from a sample she purchased from Driving Essentials and the short story is that I
now have a lovely black leather spares kit in my carriage. We like to buy from Canadian suppliers and
have been very pleased with the service. The shop services drivers and riders and has a new emphasis
on serving the needs of minis.
