Things to think about:

  • For safety's sake, horses cannot travel on highways or busy roads, should avoid steep hills, muddy or slippery footing, railroad crossings, covered or narrow bridges, construction zones, and any area with excessive noise or sirens.
  • Horses travel at approximately 3 mph, therefore for those events traveling on roads from one point to another, we recommend that the total distance traveled on hard pavement not exceed 3 to 5 miles. This is not only for time's sake, but for the horses' welfare.  
  • Horses are live animals and can be unpredictable.   Our draft horses weigh between 1500 and 2000 pounds. Safe behavior should be exhibited around the horses at all times.
  • The maximum time we will allow our horses to work is 4.0 hours with water breaks every hour.
  • We can provide up to 2 horse-drawn carriages at one time.
  • Our carriages are equipped with lights and slow-moving vehicle signs so we can work at night, however, in certain situations we require an automobile escort.
  • It is the responsibility of the person hiring us to notify and seek permission from local law enforcement authorities to have a horse-drawn carriage on the roads.
