Yes. We will send you a contract. Once we receive your signed contract and deposit, your event will be booked.

Permits are not required for Texas public city streets. However, a permit may be necessary on private property including neighborhoods, public parks or reception venues.

We do not charge for anything within a 50-mile radius of our barn. Anything beyond that is $2.00 a mile one way.

Events are booked for a minimum of 2 hours. Your time will start at the time and location you gave on your contract. Setup travel time and cleanup are not included in your 2 hours.

We charge an overtime rate of $75.00 for each half hour over the agreed 2 hours.

A simple garland of ivy and white flowers is draped on the sides of the carriage. For a horse-drawn wedding carriage, you have an option to decorate with flowers, greenery, ribbons. and bows. (Please No Balloons!) We also have a Just Married and Just Hitched sign that can be attached.

Each horse is different. Always ask the driver if it is safe to touch the horse. Learn more about our horses here.

Yes. It is a natural cooling process, just as it is with people.

Horses usually sleep standing up, often with one hind foot cocked.

A horse can easily pull a wheeled vehicle that is six times his own weight. However, we use Percheron and Belgian horses, which use only 25% of that capacity.

Our horses are fed hay and grain two to three times a day.They get treats and always a constant supply of clean water.

Please ask the coachman before giving a horse human food. Horses, like most animals, cannot always process things human eat normally like chocolate, nuts, and seeds.

No fireworks, sparklers, etc, are permitted around the horses and carriage at any time. Fire, smoke, silly string, balloons, and sparklers never mix with the horse. Never tie cans to the back of the carriage as it may spook the horse and cause injury, or someone could get tangled up in them.

We use draft horses that have an easy-going, laid-back personality. They are experienced working in traffic and crowds.

It takes approximately 25 minutes to go 1 mile.

We will operate in light drizzle and some of our carriages and hearses have tops. We will not cancel until the very last minute, but we do reserve the right to cancel. With the hot Texas weather, we suggest planning your event in the evening.
