From Main Street Vehicles Story Guide 1966:
The surreys are also reproductions from pictures of surreys found in the Standard Vehicle Catalogue. Necessary parts were located — or made — by Owen Pope. Owen and Dolly Pope have operated our Pony Farm since the Park opened in 1955, and did the original design and construction of the surreys. Currently, the Pony Farm is about 6 1/2 acres in size. To save wear and tear on the ponies, surreys have always been made as lightly and delicately as possible. Because of the great number of guests carried, the wheels are more sturdy than those on most of the catalogue models—another safety factor built into the attraction.
From WED Disneyland Dictionary 1968
With the fringe on top" are drawn by pony teams, mainly those of a cross between Hackney and Shetland breeds. They travel from City Hall to Sleeping Beauty Castle.
