The horses travel approximately 4 to 5 miles an hour.  Your final destination for special events should not exceed 5 miles in length.  Certain conditions could cause this number of miles to vary depending mostly on hills, terrain, and excessive heat.

The percheron draft horses were bred for:

• heavy pulling
• field work
• horse-drawn transportation
• To carry knights into battle with all their heavy armor on.

They can pull 2 ½ times their own weight with a load without wheels and up to 6 times their own weight with a vehicle with wheels.  That means they can pull up to 9,600 lbs each!  The carriages only weigh 1000lbs - 1800lbs.

The carriages & horses can be viewed on the horse & carriage links; click on links for more details.

 Yes, we are fully insured.

Please note:  As with all equine activities in the state of Kentucky, when participating in a horse activity according to the law:  You assume the risk of equine activities pursuant to Kentucky law.

All carriages have a top that can cover you in-case of rain or too much sun.  If the weather is too chilly there are curtains and lap throws that can be added for extra warmth. 

Our horses do not work in excessive heat.  They are never worked when the heat is nearing what their body can handle. 

All horses are given sufficient breaks during their working day.  On average, they break for 15 minutes for every 45 minutes of working.
