“We wanted to send you a huge thank you for our beautiful carriage and horses. It was amazing to come out of the church and see you in all your glory waiting for us. The horses looked amazing and what a fantastic ride they gave us to the reception venue. Such well-behaved horses even with the very loud drone buzzing above their heads. We would and will highly recommend you.”

“I wanted something a bit different for my Dad's birthday and booked a Carriage Driving experience for him. Dad drove a pair of beautiful horses through the glorious grounds of Belvoir Castle accompanied by Mum and his sister. When Dad rang me afterwards he was really on Cloud 9. He had a wonderful time. They even showed him around their collection of carriages at his request. You won't go wrong if you choose DK Carriage Horses.”
