Our Company |
|
CJCarriages purpose is to provide the greater Dayton metro area with the highest quality in horse drawn vehicles. Our vehicles and horses are exceptionally clean. The vehicles are washed, decorated with faux greenery, beautiful ribbons to color coordinate with the event or season. For weddings we have a "Just Married" sign and for Christmas we add white lights to the decor. We add beauty and elegance to our horses with mane rolls and flowers. Music of your choice can be played on our built in CD stereo system. |

The Owner |
|
|
Heather Scott is one of the drivers as well as the owner of CJCarriages. She has worked around horses all of her life. She started as a child riding western pleasure, and as an adult, Heather enjoys riding dressage and occasionally the hunter/jumper. She has several years experience driving horses on the roadways for other carriage companies as well as farming with horses in the fields. Heather can drive a single horse, two horse, three across, and four up. Her latest accomplishment includes being the "Time Fly's" teamster coordinator for the daily horse drawn parade. This event was held at Carillon Historical Park during the "Inventing Flight Celebration" during July 2003 . |

Our Horses |
|
|
CJCarriages currently has a team of black Percheron geldings and a black Percheron mare. The Percheron is a breed of Draft Horse that originated in France. In 2006, Captain joined our family. He is a Spotted Draft gelding. Gabriel, Ziek, Captian and Belle were raised and trained by the Amish community in north-eastern Ohio. Now they are part of our family. They have wonderful stalls that are cleaned daily, and a large pasture for them to play in every night. We provide regular veterinarian, dental, and farrier checkups to insure their good health. They are traffic safe and very people oriented, especially around children. Their favorite treat is peppermint candy, however for your safety we do not allow them to receive treats while they are working. We are more then willing to spoil them with your generosity after their work is done for the day. Gabriel, Ziek and Belle are our children and we treat them that way. |

CJCarriage's Vehicles |
||
|
CJCarriages currently has two Vis-à-Vis carriages that are white with burgundy interiors. In case of inclement weather both carriages have convertible tops to keep the weather out. You have a choice of one or two horses to pull these carriages. If your ride is going to exceed 3 miles in distance or the route contains hills we will strongly encourage the two horse arrangement to lessen the burden on a single horse. We also offer a 30 passenger party wagon with covered top for larger group outings. All of our vehicles are cleaned, decorated for the event with garlands, tulle, colored ribbon, faux flowers and decorative lights. All of our vehicles have a built in CD stereo system so that we can play appropriate music during your ride. |
