Film & television
Horses, carriages and a coachman who has done this before.
Period transport for film, television and commercial work, supplied by a family business that has spent seventeen years on the box seat, not a hire company with a horse.
Discuss a production“Seventeen years on the box seat. From the Lord Mayor's Parade in London to Hollywood blockbusters.”
What we bring
The four things a production actually needs.
Horses that hold their nerve
Our Gelderlander warmbloods and Hungarian Lippizaners have worked on set with drones overhead, worked crowds and loud music, performed at Olympia and Wembley, and processed along public roads. They stand when they are asked to stand.
Period-correct turnout
The Landau is an original carriage, not a replica. Harness, livery and dressing are matched to the period you are shooting, and we will tell you honestly if something you have asked for would not have existed.
A driver who knows a set
Danny has driven professionally since 2007, with singles, pairs and teams of four. He has worked to a call sheet, hit marks on repeated takes, and reset between them without fuss.
Paperwork in order
Public liability insurance, risk assessments and welfare arrangements are all in place and supplied in advance. Your production office will not have to chase us for documents.
How a booking works
Tell us the brief
Period, location, shoot dates and what you need the horses to do. We will say straight away whether we are the right fit and whether the dates are free.
We quote and document
A written quote covering horses, carriage, driver and grooms, travel and standby time, with insurance and risk assessments attached.
We turn up ready
Horses settled, carriage clean, harness right, in position for the call. We work to your schedule and we do not need managing.
