Period carriage and horse hire for film & TV

Productions have been hiring the family's carriages, horses and drivers for years — in Ireland and across in the UK. Horses that stand still under lights, and drivers who have done it before.

Some of the productions we have worked on

  • Vikings
  • Ripper Street
  • Penny Dreadful

What we can put on set

  • Hansom cabs, broughams, landaus, drays and working carts
  • Dutch Friesians and other horses used to lights, crowds and noise
  • Drivers in period costume who can hit a mark and hold it
  • Handlers on set for the length of the shoot
  • Carriages dressed or re-liveried to the production designer’s brief
  • Travel and transport across Ireland and the UK

Send the shooting dates, the location and a note of what the scene needs, and we will come back with what we can supply and what it costs. For anything at short notice, ring 085 246 2600 rather than email.

Commercials

Carts and drays dressed to brand, driven wherever the shot needs them. We have built and liveried vehicles from scratch for campaigns.

Stills and editorial

Half-day and full-day hire for fashion shoots and photography, with a handler who knows how to keep a horse settled and looking right.

Events and parades

Our horses draw the Lord Mayor of Dublin’s state carriage on St Patrick’s Day and have opened the RDS Dublin Horse Show for over fifteen years.

Production enquiries

Dates, location and a line on what the scene needs is enough to start. We will tell you straight away whether we can cover it.
