Glad you like it. Unfortunately the topic is too obscure to be read by many. Please wikilink to this article wherever you see fit. bamse (talk) 09:35, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Russian road carriage horses also had bells as warning signals etc, and sleigh bells are mentioned in Jingle Bells song. There should be an international category or article. Post stations in 19 century Russia also changed your horses by your priority and travel permission. GregZak (talk) 16:09, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
