Our drivers groom and take care of the horse and make sure they are in good health. They also maintain their carriage and follow a dress code.

Reservations do require an appropriate deposit, call or email for cost and service information. We will travel any where our customers want, but the greater the distance the higher the price. Our Horses We take great pride in our horses which fall into three types--Percherons, Belgians, and Cross Breeds. These horses are powerful! They are able to pull up to 5 times their own weight, and they all weigh over 1,000 pounds. Our horses work no more than five days a week, and eight hours a day. Most get a vacation in the winter time for about three months. They have their own doctor and dentist. The Percheron is a French breed--colors are black, grey, and white. The Belgian is a Belgium breed--colors are blonde, sorrel, roans, reds with flax mane and tail. Bay horses are a cross between a Wild Mustang and our Percheron stallion Andy that we have raised and trained as coach horses.
