We are a small, family owned carriage company, specializing in hayrides, weddings, and agricultural events. We do a number of demonstrations with horsedrawn equipment, as well as different private events for clients of all ages. Our team consists of husband and wife duo, Matt and Stephanie, who have a combined 30+ years in the industry.
We breed and are very passionate about Percherons! They originated in western France, more specifically what was formally the Perche Province. It is believed that the breed was cultivated by the former war horses. Percherons are known for their intelligence and work ethic, as well as beauty, making them perfect candidates to help us celebrate clients on their special day.
Because we are so passionate about the breed, we raise and train every horse we use at an event. All our horses are dual purpose, and able to do everything from weddings, to demonstrations with antique farm equipment, to having successful show careers.
