Our horses are Gelderlander/KWPN Dutch warmblood and Hungarian Lippizaner warmblood geldings. Each one is a different character and an individual member of our team. We keep them turned out as much as possible, with lots of time to play, roll, graze and just to be horses. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see what we all get up to.

We were so privileged to have the horse-drawn carriage for Dad's send-off. The turnout was immaculate, the horses stunning and their professionalism was second to none.

From the horses looking absolutely stunning alongside a beautiful carriage, meeting every request without blinking an eyelid, we and all of our guests were just blown away.

About us

Family-owned. Seventeen years on the box seat.

DK Carriage Horses is run by Sarah and Danny from Barlows Farm on the edge of Grantham. Danny has been driving professionally since 2007, with singles, pairs and teams of four across Lincolnshire and far beyond.

Our horses are Gelderlander Dutch warmbloods and Hungarian Lippizaners, bred for presence and trained for steadiness. They have stood calmly through drone buzz, crowd noise and camera crews. They will stand calmly for you.
