The shafts look good but the cart looks tipped forward, meaning it could use a taller horse, or an adjustment if the seat adjusts. If you had a taller horse, not sure if the shafts would then be too short.
Can you get us more info and maybe a better, level pic?
Length of shafts
Height of wheel
would be a good place to begin. I have to say, *I* would pass this up just because it looks so high (That might be an optical illusion, though.) and difficult to enter. As a beginner, you'll want something very easy entry and safe. Do you already have horses traiined to drive? I wouldn't buy it for a green horse/green driver.
BUT, I'd like to see more info. I was just soeaking about *me* and my comfort zone.
