About the New York Carriage Company
Since 1981, we have had the pleasure of sharing our love of horses with people along the beautiful paths of Central Park, NYC. Our family is intimately involved with every aspect of our NYC horse and carriage operations: maintaining the carriages, providing excellent service to our customers during our carriage rides, and—most importantly—training and caring for our horses. The relationships between people and horses take a lifetime to build; we believe that our horses are giving their best effort to repay our trust every time they trot through New York City.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to share our passion, excitement, and love of New York City and Central Park with you!
We aim to create a magical Central Park horse and carriage rides experience for you and your loved ones.
We are grateful to Chief Phillip Whiteman Jr.: Northern Cheyenne Traditional Chief, Lynette Two Balls, Oglala Lakota, the Medicine Wheel Model, and the Yellow Bird Organization for sharing their culture, wisdom and kindness with us and for continuing to inspire us to bring horses and people together in Central Park.
