The Horses
The Beautiful show winning Black Friesians also known as “Belgium Blacks” have elegance, noble bearing and peaceful nature. They are trained to stand quietly and are extremely reliable in traffic; they have the ideal temperament for the occasion.
The horses are turned out to a faultless standard in English leather harness with brass fittings and traditional collars. They wear black or white ostrich feather plumes and can be turned out with or without drapes.
The detail and presentation is of the highest quality and is regarded as finest ‘turnout’ in the country.
A team of two or four black horses or a pair of white horse are available by arrangement.
Although the horses are very fit and are regularly checked by our vet to ensure they are healthy, in the interests of their welfare, we would not expect a normal funeral cortege to exceed a distance of approximately 8 miles with a duration of up to 2.5 hours.
Available to Hire
Quotations are available upon request and all prices are very reasonable.

Honestly the kindness, patience and compassion shown from Sam and her team in such a difficult time was so comforting. You can really tell when people love their job as it really reflects in their practice. They made my mums send off so so perfect and I can’t thank them enough🩷 R M (Robbi)21.

Sam and her team are absolutely amazing, from beginning to end they made the process not easier( it's not a situation that can be considered easy) but something that could be dealt with. Every step was explained and often explained again so we knew what was happening. The care from her team was exemplary, honestly it was so nice to have people around that could support us when we were trying to hold ourselves together. This business is a family one and it shows. Everything is broken down and explained so that you can make the best decisions at the time regarding what you would like to do. She is easily contacted and is always polite and supportive.
