Carriage of Occasion

We had the most amazing experience taking our daughter out for some 1:1 time with shaye and the horses, from getting them from their paddock, brushing, harnessing, attaching a carriage and heading out for a lovely quiet tour of some countryside. Our daughter was able to take the reins and control of the carriage (under direct supervision of course) then back to the start where we were able to see the horse enjoying a good itch against each other after unharnessing them which was just so gorgeous and wonderful to see. Shaye is just so incredibly warm, welcoming and full of great knowledge, knows much about the area and explains everything as we go along. The horses, so well behaved and trained. One magical experience that everyone of all ages and abilities can experience and should!!! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We did the no frills experience with Shaye and the crew. It was absolutely fantastic to have the opportunity to be hands on with the horses, getting them ready and experiencing a great carriage ride. Highly recommend!!

If I could have wished for a magical birthday surprise outing arranged by friends, it would be Carriage of Occasion with Shaye & her beautiful, sweet steeds every time.I’d give a 100 star rating if possible as this experience was absolutely wonderful & for all ages too. The carriages are stunning & the horses, well, just beautiful & quiet enjoying their ‘job’. You have to experience it to know.Absolutely every detail was covered on our amazing birthday McLaren Vale wine tour made ever so lovely by Shaye. I highly recommend Carriage of Occasion. We’ll definitely be back :)

I was lucky enough to experience a behind the scenes/no frills package.I was able to help get these beautiful horses ready to take out for a drive and even got to drive them myself for a little while. Shaye was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly and I would recommend her business to anyone that loves horses (& even those that don’t).

We did a learn to do harness lesson was awesome highly recommend to any one wanting to give harness a go! So much fun and informative ♡

Shaye is exceptionally professional and understanding in taking care of her horses and taking care of her customers. I'm so grateful and could not rave enough about what an excellent job she did with Henry and Angus pulling our wedding cart! 1000/10, would do it all again in a heartbeat! :D

Absolutely professional and gorgeous people and horses. Love what Shaye does and the different services she offers. Not only does she do carriage rides and weddings, but she also offers people the chance to spend the day learning about her horses, what the job involves and getting hands on with the horses.

Shaye's attention to detail and standard of care for her horse team are second to none! Her passion for her business is obvious and the scope of the services offered is huge from weddings to funerals, winery and ghost tours and bear hunts for the kids. Highly recommended for any occasion!

Carriage of Occasion are nothing but perfection. The pride they take in they're work is exceptional. You can see that they also treat their horses with the upmost respect and care.

I'd give Shaye 10 stars if I could. We used her and the Victorian carriage pulled by Angus for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect service from her. She is very professional and courteous. The guests were wowed when she came through the forest towards the ceremony.It certainly made our day the most magical day we could have ever imagined.Thank you for the beat memories ever.
