Our Horses

At home on the farm

Our Approach

At Trot in Time Carriage Tours, our horses are cherished members of our family. Raised in the open fields with ample space to roam and graze, they’re well-suited for the hard work of pulling carriages. We take great pride in maintaining their prime physical condition, ensuring they’re always in top form. If any signs of overheating or lameness arise, immediate care is provided. We firmly believe in the symbiotic relationship between horses and humans, acknowledging their innate capability for physical labor. Pulling a wagon is effortless for these magnificent animals.

To guarantee their well-being, our horses enjoy a balanced routine. They rotate throughout the week, allowing for adequate rest and relaxation on the farm. Regular veterinary check-ups, timely shoeing, and customized feed plans are integral parts of their care regimen. During work hours, they have unlimited access to hay and short breaks for hydration. We welcome any inquiries or concerns regarding our horses’ welfare, eager to address them with transparency and care. Rest assured, our commitment to their happiness and health is unwavering.

Meet the Team!

Pete

Pete is a 16 year old Belgian gelding. He is our tallest horse by far, at 18.2 hands. That is well over six feet tall at the withers – so when he puts his head up, there is no way we can reach his ears! Pete is an absolute sweetheart, who has worked with Trot in Time since 2024.
