HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGES

 

For over twenty years now we have offered a very unique service to the central coast, our horse-drawn carriage service. We have a number of carriages from which to choose. From a surrey that can carry 2 guests to a wagonette that carries up to 12 guests. The very well maintained vehicles and horses, highly polished harnesses and turn-of-the-century tuxedos give your event a true touch of class. All of our carriages are clean & suitable transportation for even the most well-dressed of guests. These carriages have been seen everywhere, from the small streets of Carmel-by-the-Sea to the busy arteries of Main St. and Alisal St. in Salinas. The horses are very friendly and are used to loud music, dancing, curious guests and even bagpipes. The driver and assistant can be dressed in western attire or turn-of -the-century tuxedo and top hat. For the finest horsedrawn carriage ride in Central California call Monterey Bay Equestrian Center. (Please click on the blue carriage names below to see photos)

OUR 2008 CARRIAGE LIST INCLUDES:

  • THE VICTORIA This 1880's carriage is black and maroon, with patent leather fenders and a convertible top. It carries two guests and is pulled by two horses. This is our most elegant carriage and it works well for formal events and weddings. COST: $650.

 

  • THE WAGONETTE   This vehicle is maroon and black with padded bench seating. This carriage is designed for the transportation of larger parties. It can carry 12 adult guests. It can be used for corporate or civic events as well as unique transportation for guests of private parties, family reunions, and catered events. COST: $750.

 

  • THE FUNERAL WAGON   The wagonette can be outfitted with a special platform that allows for the transportation of a casket and two pallbearers. The height of the platform is higher than that of a hearse so the strength of the pallbearers must be taken into consideration. COST: $750.
