Our team of awesome horses has countless hours of experience, insuring you with a wonderful ride. Pulling a carriage is a simple task for a horse to perform; with virtually no weight on his back, the horse can easily start a carriage rolling. Studies have shown  that it take about 50 pounds of force to start a carriage rolling and even less to keep it going. Many experts claim that pulling a carriage is easier then carrying a rider because of the physical make-up of the horse.  Our animals are treated with love and respect and have never been mistreated or abused while in our care.

 

  • Our horses live on a 20 acre Farm and are fed twice daily, groomed watered and exercised and have individual stalls in and exceptionally clean barn.
