Keith is a straight shooter. Clear. Concise. Can't wait to treat my fiance as Royalty.
Before I say anything, I must state that this is the first review I’ve written for any service. However, after the beautiful experience my boyfriend and I had, I knew I had to share. My boyfriend surprised me with a horse-drawn carriage ride for our anniversary. We went along a beautiful, scenic route that captured the colorful essence of fall. It honestly felt as though we were in a movie scene. We seemed to be in a rural town where most people know each other. It was very refreshing to see how kind people were waving and saying hello. We had the pleasure of meeting Keith, as he was the one guiding the horse, Harry, and who teaches/cares for of all the horses. In conversation, it was quite obvious how much Keith cares for his horses and his business. He truly was a genuine guy and it was very nice talking with him. Although it took an hour and a half for us to drive to Ludlow, MA, we would absolutely do it again because of how perfect the experience was.
We absolutely recommend Mainely Horse & Carriage! My husband booked them for our wedding as a surprise (which I figured out 2 weeks before the wedding). It could not have been a better experience. Mark (the horse) handled walking down a busy road with ease & the staff were so accommodating! They did travel to CT which was huge considering my husband had called 3 other companies who all said no! This is a memory we, as well as our guests will never forget!
When we arrived on a chilly yet bright sunny day, the ride was ready. Keith was warm and friendly, Mark (the horse) was big and strong and obedient. We strolled on the Lyon St and a neighboring St for about half an hour one way and returned back the same way. It was a beautiful ride, little more chilly on our way back though. Thankfully Keith had suggested us to bring a blanket and we were prepared for the ride - nice and memorable.
