Our Horse and Carriage Services

Cooks Carriages are based in Hockley, allow us to offer our service across Essex and the surrounding counties. We have a team of fully qualified coachmen and immaculately turned out Friesian horses who are well-tempered and highly trained. 

We are proud to be the longest running carriage company in Essex. We are a family-run company with customer satisfaction at the core of our business.

We own all our own carriages and horses which can be viewed on our farm where we live, we don't sub contract and we are not an agency, so your event starts and ends with us. 

We don't use plastic exercise harnesses; all of our harnesses are made by traditional craftsmen with English leather. All of our horses and coachmen are dressed in formal attire to make your event as memorable as possible.
