Classic Carriages Percheron Horses

We have had the pleasure of driving many horses during our long tenancy in Fort Worth, 
but our favorite steeds are Percherons, an ancient French horse that carried the Knights of the Middle Ages.  
They are still very popular with the Amish community.  They are one of the Draft breeds, 
heavy horses designed to pull coaches, farm machinery and carry armored warriors.

Percherons are gorgeous, intelligent, hard-working and can pull our 
little fiberglass carriages with ease.  We like gray geldings best, they look AWESOME 
with the white carriages for weddings and are very visible at night in traffic. 

The "Boys" work a couple nights a week and are otherwise at leisure on our 30 acre farm adjoining the LBJ Grasslands 
in Sunset, TX.  They each eat about 40 lbs of hay/grain per day plus drink 30 gallons of water! 

Each horse goes through an intense training regimen before determining if they are a Classic Carriages horse.
We provide service to over 500 private bookings per year that range from EASY to downright SCARY.  
Our private motto is "We will NOT be on REAL TV!" so we don't take chances with horses that are not perfect for the job. 

Our horses are part of the family, ask your driver for details about your horse, we are very proud of them!
