About Us - Townies Carriage Hire Ltd
Our Story
Providing Traditional Transport For All Occasions Since 1911
The name Townies comes from my Grandfather whose nickname was "Townie", he purchased his first horse in 1911 having first worked for his mother at the age of 14 years old driving a pair of horses to a Wagonette break taking paying passengers to Racecourses, pub Beanos and Social Gatherings.
The business grew and by the start of World War II he owned 50 horses, some delivering coal for his coal business and others hired out to other companies such as butchers, bakers, greengrocers, hotel suppliers, funeral directors and railway companies.
My father along with his brothers went into the family business working with driving horses for a living. I have spent all my life around horses.
My son the fourth generation is now a Farrier and shoes our horses.
Our horses welfare is our number one priority, with regular dietary reviews, check ups from the vet and farrier plus each horse having its own exercise regime ensure they are fit and healthy and can happily carry out the work asked of them.
Here at Townies Carriage Hire we aim to offer the very best in carriage hire for weddings, school proms and all other special occasions, building on a reputation of excellence, reliability and professionalism established over 100 years of trading.
