Our Horses

We feel it's the most important aspect of our business. Because of the large amount of exposure that the horses get, we have to make sure that we have the best carriage horses available. A good carriage horse has to have multiple characteristics, all rolled into one horse. This is because of all the various types of events they have to perform in, many types of environments with some being very hectic. When we are adding a horse on, we travel to different parts of the country to purchase just the right one. All of our horses are pure bred draft horses, all Belgians and one Percheron. Here are our horses:

Buck & Bonnie
