Ah. Perhaps I should have mentioned the location. We're in NY City, a
place not plentifully supplied with stables. Beyond that, the "venue" is
a local church hall. It has an actual stage, but space is limited. I
imagine the surrey will have to be built smaller than anything that
would actually be used on the road.



Aren't those horse-drawn carriages still for rent around Central Park and
some other parts of NYC? In Baltimore we have a dwindling population
of roving produce vendors, locally called "arabbers" or arabs, that
sell their merchanidse from small horse-drawn wagons. Not nearly as common
as they were even 10 years ago, but still some around and their are a few
stables left within the city that support them. I'd be surprised if
there was not someplace in NYC that had a wagon you could use or alter
temporarily if needed.
