Hunter Valley Classic Carriages

We take great care in selecting only horses that have an interest and enthusiasm for the work. We are industry leaders in animal welfare and have a 100% commitment to the comfort and enjoyment experienced by our equine team. This means we carefully curate our routes to minimize workloads and keep the work easy and enjoyable. Moreover, we reduce repetitive work time frames and our horses enjoy relaxed undemanding schedules. Due to our 100% commitment your experience with us may cost a little more than our competitors, though this small cost difference means you can rest assured you can enjoy our activities knowing you are supporting a business with unmatched equine care and help us as industry leaders to improve practices by example.

As one of the first business's of our kind operating in the beautiful Hunter Valley Wie Country for several decades we are the industry leaders and are the most experienced Wedding Carriage operator in our industry. We have an unparralleled commitment to safety and quality and our drivers and senior leadership team have more than 80 years combined driving and horsemenaship experience.

When booking a horse and carriage with us you can rest assured you will receive uncompromising safety. This comes with our decades of experience and the years of positive reinforcement training methods our beautiful Clydesdales have before graduating to being able to work with people. As our industry is ungoverned from time to time unethical vendors with little to no experience with Horse and Carriage work will enter the market as it is all too easy to simply buy a horse and carriage. Due to this we urge customers to ensure you book with Commercial Carriage company with no less than 10 years industry experience. There are sadly a number of inexperienced new operators over the last 2 years looking to take a gamble with your safety and wellbeing on your Wedding Day and are willing to give bargain basement prices to do so. You should be looking for more than just a pretty Carriage and staged social media shots, look for several years of actual experience. Moreover, that buying trained horses does not replace driver experience as in the event of an incident the driver will not know how to handle the situation. And remember even if a vendor is insured, if they have lied about their level of ability or experience on their insurance, when an incident happens the insurer will not cover them or you for any damages, injury or worse. It may cost a little more to get someone with the right level of experience, valid insurance and commitment to safety but it will be worth it to breath easy on what should be one of the most enjoyable and important day's of your life. With several decades of industry experience we have put ion the hard work to ensure this is one thing you dont have to worry about on your special day.
