Private carriage rides

A slower way to see your own neighborhood.

Some of the best rides start in your own driveway. We trailer the horse and carriage to your home, load everyone up, and take a slow loop through the neighborhood while the sun goes down or the lights come on.

It's an easy way to make an ordinary evening feel like an event, whether it's two of you or the whole family.

Planning a carriage ride at home

Private rides happen right where you live, anywhere in Maricopa and Pinal County. We bring the horse, the carriage, and a driver. You bring the people.

What the route looks like

Most rides are a slow loop through the streets around your home. We'll look at the route ahead of time for traffic, turns, and a safe place to load. Some HOAs like a heads-up before a horse comes through, so it's worth checking.

When to book it

Golden hour is hard to beat most of the year. In the summer months, rides are scheduled early in the morning or after sunset to keep the horse cool. From Thanksgiving through New Year's, evening rides are all about the lights.

A closer look

Golden hour to lantern light.

No stock photos. This is our own horse, carriage, and crew.
