Not Appropriate For Dressage!

By
Wandrwoman “Wise as Aphrodite, Beautiful as Athena…”
, December 30, 2010

Please note that this Daddle is Western Style and will not be appropriate for those trained in the English Father Riding Method whereby one holds a rein in each hand and posts the trot. If you are looking forward to father jumping, father fox hunting, father polo, or daddy dressage, you will not be able to use this Daddle. Western Daddle riders hold the reins with one hand and sit the trot. The pommel or horn on this Daddle is meant to hold a lariat, which is useful when roping cattle or other competing or unruly fathers.

No more quarters needed!

By

Tired of change jangling in your pocket? Sick of begging for change for a dollar, even though you are not buying anything? Problem solved! We tired parents were sick of paying, literally, at least $10
per year on this “trick pony” in front of the Western Wear store. Every time we passed it, our toddler just *had* to have a ride. No more! Now we haul the Daddle on all our walks, and whenever we pass one of those stupid plastic money-eaters, we just slip on the Daddle and ride away—no quarters needed. Handy for everyday use. My husband has even given a few rides to other kids, but of course, does demand a quarter (and we DON’T give change!). Anyway, what’s a few chiropractor bills when we save at least $10 a year?! At this rate, only about 4 years to go before the Daddle pays for itself, not even factoring in the $ we make from charging other brats, I mean kids, for rides. WELL worth it! A MUST-have for any parent.

Saves me a fortune in gas

By

My work is only about 3 miles from my house. It’s too far to walk, but the mindless stop-and-go traffic between here and there eats almost an hour of driving and gallons of gas per week. Solution: the Daddy Saddle. My dog is a large Molosser who easily carries my 145-lb. frame. Just throw on the saddle, and away we go. It kills two birds with one stone, as it gives him his daily exercise, and it gets me to work without so much as breaking a sweat. He’s happy as a clam to hang out in the shade garden outside the office and can drink freely from the koi pond. So a fish disappears every now and then. ;)

Daddle up

By

The first time I saw the daddle I knew it was the perfect solution for my grandmother to get up her pesky stairs. No longer are we burdened with an expensive mobilized system for her stairs; instead, her gardener straps on the daddle, or at our house we call it the “graddle,” and escorts her up the stairs. Only once has the graddle failed us when she couldn’t quite make it to the bathroom in time. Maybe daddle should think about a waterproof version??? I hear DuPont STAINMASTER calling?? Any daddle, I would definitely recommend this product for aging relatives. Forget the mobilized scooters or Segways—the graddle is so much more sustainable.
