Spring Season is upon us…

Its now March 19th and the weather is delightful in Hardy Arkansas. We know that Spring is in the air as the flowers are beginning to pop, the trees are budding and Chico and Don Qualls are back on Main Street. Don and Chico have been a Hardy Main Street attraction for a number of years to the delight of locals, visitors and guests. Don and Chico will take you on a scenic ride around town and through Loeberg Park. There is no charge for the rides, instead one may make a donation to help offset Don’s personal expenses. Qualls says that he enjoys giving a ride to someone who remembers horse and buggy days or giving a ride to someone who has a disability just to see their face light up.

Qualls and Chico have visited nursing homes and brought joy to the elder generation, many of whom remember working and riding horses as a way of life. Chico and Don “The Man” have gotten quite a reputation and people have come to Hardy from all over the country to ride, having heard from others that riding with Chico and Don is a  ’must do’ event in Hardy.

The duo are also available for weddings, birthdays and church events.

If you’re around the Hardy area, stop by and visit with Don Qualls and Chico. They would love to give you a buggy ride that you’ll always remember.
