FAQs
Capacity & Seating
  • Standard Capacity: Most traditional carriages seat up to 4 adults (or 3 adults with up to 2 children, or similar combinations depending on weight and age).

  • Larger Groups: For bigger parties, separate additional carriages must be booked, though some locations (like Charleston) feature larger public carriages holding up to 16 people.

  • Private vs. Shared: The vast majority of standard tours are private to your booked party.

Pricing & Payments

  • Pricing Structure: Pricing is billed per carriage rather than per individual passenger. In New York, baseline rates are regulated by the city (e.g., around $63.70 for the first 20 minutes plus additional fees for extra time).

  • Payment Methods: Most operators accept major credit cards, cash, and digital payment methods, typically requiring payment upfront at booking.

  • Tipping: Gratuity is not strictly mandatory, though a 20% to 30% tip is customary for good service. 

Food, Drink & Rules

  • Food & Drinks: Passengers are generally allowed to bring their own snacks, soft drinks, or even alcoholic beverages like champagne or prosecco in New York, provided local open-container laws permit it (some cities like Charleston prohibit alcohol).

  • Weather Policy: Rides operate in light rain or cold weather, with drivers dressing or advising layers. However, operations halt during extreme weather (such as severe heat or freezing temperatures outside legal limits).

  • Proposals & Events: Most companies accommodate special occasions like proposals, anniversaries, and weddings upon advance request. 

Horse Welfare & Care

  • Care Standards: Licensed carriage horses receive daily grooming, regular veterinary checks, routine farrier/hoof care, and mandatory annual pasture vacations (ranging from several weeks to months depending on the farm/region).

  • Working Limits: Operators follow strict temperature caps and provide continuous access to water troughs and mobile water buckets while working.
