HORSE DRAWN PERFECTION

Caramel Stud carriages

About Us

We are a local business with several generations of experience in horse breeding, producing and carriage driving. Caramel Stud Carriages is run alongside our sister company, The Caramel Stud, enabling us to provide not only immaculately presented carriages, but also horses that have been bred and nurtured by ourselves to ensure they have the correct temperament and flair for carriage work.

The Caramel Stud is based near Preston in our purpose built stables and barn.

Jo and Andy

 

Jo is the proprietor of both Caramel Stud Carriages and The Caramel Stud. She is an experienced driver and horsewoman who lives and breathes horses (and carriages) 24hrs a day!

She has a distinction in Equine Science and Business Management and is also a fully qualified animal health advisor which comes in handy keeping our 21 horses fit and healthy. 

 

Andy is her partner and helps out with all aspects of caring for the horses and takes on the important role of footman for the weddings. The grooms cars are influenced by his love of sports cars.

 

 

Jo & Fudge

 

Fudge is the son of Caramel, the foundation mare of The Caramel Stud. He is our prize stallion with rare breeding and is sire (Dad) to all of our young stock horses. Fudge has amazing and unique Palomino markings, beautiful movement and is one in a million! He is Jo’s weekend steed, being reserved for the days where a more spirited ride is called for!!

As you can see from the pictures though, Jo and Fudge have a very special bond with mutual respect and understanding from both rider and stallion.

Lassie

 

Lass is the CSC guard dog! She is our Border Collie Rescue dog and as you can see she’s a big softie really! She does however take her job as barn guard dog seriously & keeps the horses & ponies in check at all times!

Jack (Caramel Flapjack)

 

Jack is our most recent colt born to the stud. He is pictured (right) aged one day old, with his dam (Mum) Daisy our Palomino broodmare. The picture below left is of Jack aged 18 months. Below centre and right are Jack now, aged 3. Although very popular with everyone that visits the stud, he is not for sale as he is destined to be our Knights horse and latest carriage horse as he has an excellent temperament like his siblings. The Knight service will be available for those grooms wishing to add a touch of romance to their marriage proposals. For those for whom this is not enough, he can also be transformed into an stunningly graceful unicorn.

 

Check our latest updates page for pictures as soon as these options are available.

Shaun - Caramel Cream

Shaun, Jack and Fudge are all known as Palomino skewbalds due to their unique patches of white and gold markings. This colour combination is very rare and may only be achieved by carefully selected breeding.

We are proud to boast to be the only stud in the UK with three horses with this amazing colouring, ranging in size from over 16hh to under 34”. 

Shaun the Shetland is currently undergoing training to become our smallest carriage pony. His carriage will be an exact miniature of our full size Vis-a-vis and will be perfectly suited to transport the smaller bridesmaids to the church in true fairytale style.
