Big John is the sweetest horse you’ll ever meet and the favorite of many drivers. You would never guess his age by watching him work! Although he loves to be downtown (and King of Pops popsicles), Big John is semi-retired and spends the majority of his time out at the farm (keeping order).

Driving Chief is like driving a strawberry roan Cadillac. He is not a big fan of the farrier and likes everything to be exactly where it was the last time he saw it! You can always count on Chief for a good show when turned out at the farm where he likes to dig for buried treasure.

Dale is one of the few horses we’ve ever met that will actually come to you when you call him! Dale has been giving Charleston horse carriage tours since he was 4 years old and is a pro. He prefers slow moving mornings and being petted on his neck instead of the tip of his nose (he’ll let you know that, too).

Don is one of our largest horses, with a beautiful wide blaze and a little black spot right in the middle of his top lip, he’s easy to recognize around town. He is fascinated with water and the way it moves through his body and keeps the stablehands busy on his days off. His favorite letter is “P”.

People love Gary because of his wavy blond hair and laid back attitude. If he was a person he would surely be a surfer. You can pet his face for hours and he only likes carrots and apples for treats. His favorite things are having his legs groomed and tipping over the water bucket inside the stable.

Our most serious horse, Jake is very stoic, matter-of-fact, and easy to get along with. What he lacks in size compared to our largest horses he more than makes up for in determination and diligence. He really enjoys rolling in the dirt at the farm and we think he might be studying to be an accountant.

It seems that Luke would rather be around people than other horses. He loves his grooming sessions, especially with hard-bristle brushes and especially at the end of the day. He has a baby face and really enjoys working downtown when it’s busy and there are lots of things to look at.

Maverick is very similar in color to Chief and it can be hard to tell them apart from a distance. He is very proud and showy, and likes to be in charge out at the farm. It’s not uncommon for him to meet you at the gate and he’ll do just about anything for an apple wafer.

Moses is the largest horse in our herd and he is also one of the most gentle. He’s very attentive and loves to see and be involved in whatever it is you’re doing, even if it has nothing to do with him and even if he gets in the way. He gives the best horse hugs in the group and is a lot of fun to just hang out with.

At over 19 hands high, Rob is our tallest horse and one of our most handsome – and he knows it. He thinks our stable is his day spa. He starts every day wondering what we can do for him. He likes having his face washed and being clipped. He wants all of his hair in exactly the right place before leaving the barn in the morning.

Trevor is the only chestnut Belgian in our herd. His color is absolutely beautiful. He has a long stride and you can tell he loves to work. Clever and somewhat mischievous, it is not uncommon to continually have to fetch boards, brooms, cups etc. that he pulls into his stall on his days off.
