Our Horses
|
Frosty
|
|
|
Frosty is our dependable, seasoned campaigner. He drives single and team and is a wonderful teacher for our younger horses when we want to break them to team. He is also great at teaching our new drivers the ropes. He is kind and patient (he will stand there for hours if someone is petting him), and if we could teach him to talk, he could do tours by himself!

Rose is our rock. She works when she is working, and when she is resting… she is resting. She likes her catnaps between rides. Though she wakes up quickly when there is attention to be had. At the carriage stop, we have had people ask if she is real, because she is standing so still! Rose drives both single and team, and is so gentle and easy to drive that pretty much anyone can handle her.

Gypsy is our mischievous young lady. Her favorite thing to do when she is bored is to throw her water bucket. She has been known to launch a full water bucket several yards! She also has a tremendous sweet tooth. We have had to buy more than one child a new ice cream cone or candy apple because they got it close enough for her to steal it. (Her favorite is strawberry ice cream). She is both a single and a team horse, She is sweet tempered and loves the attention she draws on the street.

Meters (or Mimis, as she is affectionately known) is Palm Springs Carriages’ mascot and good will ambassador. Her favorite place in the whole world is on the driver’s box of a carriage, where she has been riding since she was three weeks old. It is amazing how many people will walk right past the horses, and say “Oh, look at the cute little dog!” Meters is a ham and will sit up on the carriage and bark to get people to come up and see her. She knows how to draw a crowd!
She has her own fan club on the Strip, and if the carriage comes out without her, everyone wants to know where she is.
Her papers say that she is a Jack Russell, but we think she has some attention hound in her!
