Donkey Carts in Barbados

Donkey carts in Barbados in days gone by

Ownership of a donkey cart in Barbados was mainly suitable to those who had no other means of transportation and used these carts as a means to transport for produce and whatever else needed to be transported. In some instances, the donkey cart also catered to those who just couldn't be bothered to learn how to drive. Not quite a regular scene on the streets of Barbados these days, donkey carts are running extinct and making their appearances mainly at fairs for the sake of rides for children or to simply help us tap into a piece of our past.
