PHD Racing Sulky and Tish Celt Race Cart

The Prancing Harlot Designs cart is a simple, lightweight one-pony and one-driver cart, designed purely for speed on the race track

It is highly maneuverable, and moves at a good pace of speed.

The Page up key increases the speed from walking, to a trot, and onto a full speed canter and Page down decreases through the three "gears".

The driver sits low and far back, keeping a low streamlined profile behind the pony.

The cart's lightweight construction and racing design makes cornering a little hair-raising - try it with a blindfolded pony if you are a true adrenaline junky.

This is a cart where the pony sits on a poseball to pull, so is not the best for rougher terrains.

But if you plan to race your pony, this might well be the cart to use.

At L$500, it might not be the cheapest, but it's a welcome addition to any speed freak's collection.

An alternative - and fairly similar - cart, is the Tish Celt Race cart.

It is available in a variety of colours; one color is L$300, or the 7 cart "Track Set" just L$900.

The designs vary, and I am still to pit the two racing sulkies against each other to see if there is any real difference other than the appearance.

So I suggest you check out both carts if you are planning to race.

Prancing Harlot Designs : One-Pony Cart

Deirdre :
I just love this cart. The best part of pony play, to me, is to be driven around and see the sights with my beloved magic pony, lelo.

We entered the Iron Pony trial with this cart : a cross-simulator endurance race along the Linden roads on the mainland organized by Marissa Akula, of Questionable Virtues.

We went across seriously bumpy country, and never had a hitch.

Simulator crossings can be wild in any vehicle : we bounced, sank in the ground, lelo went invisible.. we still made first place ;)

Linden Route One is another great ride we took in this cart. There is a lot to see in SL, and touring with your pony will give you memories to treasure.

Designer: Alyssa Jessop


lelo :
The cart has a simple straight forward design, easy adjustable texture to personalize the look of the cart.

It supports one pony and two riders. Controlling the cart is easy, it uses the normal walking controls and page up/down controls the speed of the cart. Only taking corners takes a little practice; there's a little drift to the outside of the turn.

When we got it, it was a little low for me, making my hooves sink into the ground. A quick call to Alyssa Jessop, the owner and designer of PHD, and within minutes she adjusted the ride height to fit me perfectly.

Great customer service from her and the best was yet to come, a couple of months ago due to a Linden sponsored server hiccup, our beloved cart wouldn't rezz anymore, another call to Alyssa and the cart was replaced no questions asked, she even had the adjusted model still in her inventory and sent that one.
