Organic Quad Bikes

Post: # 74308Post simon saddlechariot »

I am the nutter who invented the Organic Quad Bike, and am also a passionate believer that ponies and horses are urban animals. I just want to get them back to their natural habitat.

Also what towed equipment is most useful to the small holder. If you have a smallholding, market garden around Cumbria I am happy to come and demonstrate.

Hiya Simon

Welcome aboard. What a great pic. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.

I'm nowhere near Cumbria, but if we are passing through on one of our trips south (not very often!) I'll give you a shout as it would be great to see a demo.
