Attention everyone, 🚨

Due to the Natchitoches city ordinance, we regret to inform you that we cannot bring our horses 🐴 down to Front Street for carriage rides during the Natchitoches Christmas Festival. Normally, we would return on Sunday, however, due to weather 🌧️, we may be unable to as well. We will keep an eye 👀 on weather reports and update our guests here on our FB page as we are able to. Thank you for your understanding and patience. 🙏

Wishing everyone lots of holiday cheer and happy holidays! 🎄✨

If it's possible, we will go out, but it depends on the rain. 🤠

🎄🐎🤶 Did you know our dedicated carriage drivers at Southern Carriage Company have to tip their roof to ensure they drain properly? It’s the best way to keep our riders nice and dry after the rain!

It's all part of the magic that makes our rides so special! Join us for a historical tour on Front Street until the lights come on, followed by a magical Christmas light ride. ✨🎇
