We were driving 30a east approaching Western Lake .....
when we realized that there was a horse & buggy on the road
not on the bike path .... but on the 30a:yikes:
This was a first for us .... has anyone else seen it ?
Think the company name on the back was Destin Horse & Carriage.

Big difference between a bike that is on the shoulder and a horse drawn carriage taking up a lane. And rheffron, the horses were ON 283.

I watched some tools put the accelerator through the floor near Grayton so they could pass/drive next to the girls in front of them - oncoming horses (or traffic) were the least of their concerns. :roll:

I have no intensions of slowing traffic down. I was only out getting practice for the parade this weekend. I do agree that it is dangerous when cars are going twice the speed limit of 35mph on 30A. I drove down by car there today to check miles out and while going 35mph I was passed at lest 15 times. This is what I would complain about. The tourist should be going slow and enjoying the views. Anyways... I am mainly here to do weddings, partys, parades and special events. If you saw me on 393 that is where we live and drive the horses occasionaly. I will be going down 393 to do weddings on the beach on the weekends. As far as droppings goes. I have a personal guy on a silver scooter that is not far away. I call him on the radio and he comes to clean the mess. I also have diapers on the horse, so it is just the droppings that miss that he gets.

If you are from SoWal, why do you have "Destin" in your name? That is so not from here. South Walton is so different from Destin in Okaloosa County. Any unique event in South Walton, Walton County should not have Destin in its name, imho. The unique history and environmental treasures of South Walton are beyond compare in Florida. The unique venue of SoWal, South Walton, should not be diluted with surrounding area place names.
