Mucklewick Horse and carriage Company

Course details

Our courses are a seasonal activity that last from 1st April to 31st October. We like to give as much driving time as possible.

There are two courses a week. The midweek course starts on a Tuesday at 1pm and finishes the following Friday at noon. The weekend course starts at 1pm on a Friday and finishes the following Monday at noon.

Our courses are designed to provide the achievement of safe driving skills: enjoyment of the sights and sounds (not forgetting smells) of the local countryside; and encouragement for more people to take up driving horses.
