This was a Christmas present for my younger daughter. Claire was fantastic over the three hours and explained everything very clearly. She started with a lesson in how to hold the reins and then moved on to a carriage with a single pony (Bailey) around the yard and then two ponies (Domino and Bubbles - British indoor champions) out on the lanes. After some practice we all went out with a larger carriage pulled by two fantastic Friesians (Fraser and Solly) down tracks, fields and woods, all with my daughter driving! Claire was very positive and encouraging throughout and we were very well looked after by both her and the horses. I would thoroughly recommend Snailriver Horse Drawn Carriages, so much so that we are going back for my other daughter's birthday in April!
We had a horse and carriage for our Wedding. Absolutely amazing. Didn't get the mans name, but he and Claire where very friendly and helpful. Their carriage and horses are beautiful. We are very grateful for them allowing us to change the date to a closer date than first agreed. Allowed our dogs to join us on our big day too. Highly recommend this company

Last week my wife & I enjoyed an hour-long two horse carriage drive to celebrate her 80th birthday & we were not disappointed. Claire & Mark along with our plush carriage & two delightful horses were waiting for us on arrival, before embarking on a large circular drive through the narrow lanes around Kettlebaston. It was stunning: the sound of the hooves and the scenery was amazing & more than we ever expected.
Thank you Claire & Mark, you made our day.
I booked a carriage driving trial day for my mums birthday. Mum and the family had a great time. Claire is extremely knowledgeable, professional and patient.
I would have no hesitation in recommending her. Which is what I did when my friends nan died. A beautiful last send off. Thank you
