How will your horses and carriage travel to the event?
Our horses and carriage travel separate. We utilize a spacious trailer built for horses and a flatbed trailer for our carriages. Two Trucks and Two Trailers works well for us, and allows us to access smaller venues without using large stock trailers. Please consider our need for space in planning our arrival to your event. We need plenty of room to park, unload and prepare our horses and carriage for your event. We ask to have unobstructed access to safely exit your venue after the event.
Are gratuities accepted by the driver?
We always hope you enjoy the service your driver gives. If you would like to show your appreciation, gratuities are greatly appreciated, but is never expected.
Our drivers and assistants are compensated for their professionalism and experience.
Can we decorate the horses and carriage?
Our drivers and assistants try to arrive as early as possible to allow as much time as available for decorating of the carriage.
​
Once we arrive, we unload the horses and carriage. The carriage is parked a safe distance away from the horses. Our crew will give the carriage a quick cleaning, and it will be available for your decorating team.
​
If you plan to use lighting, it must be battery operated. We use a small 12v battery to power our lighting for the operation of the carriage, therefore any additional lighting must be independent of our self contained battery.
​
We ask nothing to be permanently affixed to the carriages.
No screws, nails, glues may be used. However, in our experiences we have found small clamps work well affixing decorations to our vehicles. Please let us know if you have questions.
​
Our horses do not handle the decorations well. Because of the harness, traces, drive lines we must limit decorations to the carriage only.
What about the weather?
Often Mother Nature throws a curve ball to events, bringing some inclement weather.
Most of our carriages have tops that can shield from light rain. Because we are a open and moving vehicle it is possible to get wet, so please plan accordingly.
​
Should the weather become a safety concern our drivier will attempt to contact with a designated event contact to discuss our concerns, and will make he determination to delay the service or cancel.
​
During fall and winter, we have several carriage coordinated blankets that can be requested along with the carriage. These items are packed at the Carriage Barn, so please let us know in advance if you will require them.
