Hello, my name is Jake Schorr, owner of The Carriage Company. I’ve been sharing carriage rides with folks since 1979. Our 1st carriage was built in the basement of a restaurant named, Jefferson Square. The Commercial Appeal did a story about how we had to take it apart to get it out of the basement. Give me a minute or two and I’ll bend your ear with more Horse Tales.
Any time you have a special request, please let me know. I would be pleased to help you.
