What a fantastic experience with Claire over the past 3 weeks, very professional friendly tuition learnt a lot in such a short space of time, she gave me so much confidence with my driving especially as this was coachman style, her horses and ponies were lovely so well behaved and very accommodating fir beginners. Such a huge wealth of knowledge freely shared. I would Highly recommend Claire.
Fairytale company for a fairytale wedding! Everything was faultless. We were so happy we picked them due to their professionalism and friendliness. Thank you so much - we loved you being part of our big day!
We hired your horse & carriage services 13 years ago for our wedding in Withersfield. You borrowed Cliffton-Browns horses as you had bays & I wanted greys for my wedding. It was the most wonderful experience. I remember you turned around & said how beautiful I looked. Thank- you so much. I would highly recomend your service.
I had a great lesson with Claire today. It was a great introduction to carriage driving and I learnt a lot. It has sparked a keen interest in the sport and I am keen to learn more and get one of my ponies broken to drive.
We had a disabled carriage lesson for my wheelchair user daughter. She had the best time and can’t wait to come again. Thanks for a great time.

Last week we enjoyed an hour-long carriage drive through the lanes around Kettlebaston to celebrate my wife's 80th birthday and we were not diappointed. Claire & Mark along the the very plush carriage and two horses were all ready when we arrived. The sound of the hooves along with being so close to the hedgerows and open fields delightful. Thank you Claire & Mark, you made Ruth's day & mine too.
