Elegant and traditional, the carriages are drawn by a pair of black Friesian horses.

This enchanting carriage, a Victoria, built in 1840 by Charles Vermot of Paris, is resplendent in brunswick green livery with white linings and dark green metalwork.

In the event of a shower or inclement weather the carriage has a hood which can be raised.

Our coachmen are traditionally dressed in tailored livery to compliment the carriage.

The upholstery is trimmed with ivory covers and is comfortable for two persons, but does have a rear facing seat which can accommodate two additional passengers.

The photograph on the right shows a close up of the interior.

Imported from the Netherlands early in 2005, we have Villem and Jolle, two 16.2hh Friesians.

Originally Friesians were used as carriage horses by the majority of the royal households in Europe and the breed is well known for their driving ability.

Both horses are harnessed using traditional patent leather collars and original leather harness formerly used by the Earls of Pembroke and Montgomery. The harness carries the family crest in silver. The whole effect may be added to with the addition of white plumes.
