Destin Horse & Carriage

Yes, I saw it, around 3:30- 4:00. Hate to be a grinch, but completely inappropriate, slowing traffic to a stop as they waited to go around. Moving way slower than either a golf cart or a road biker.

Yes, it struck us as very dangerous indeed. Would prefer to see the horses on the trails in the woods ... not on the streets

I was caught behind on 393 headed north from 30A a couple of weeks ago. I agree it's a safety hazard, and the roads aren't even that crowded yet.

What next?

A kiddie train like the one in Destin Commons? I do love a horse and carriage, but maybe just riding through Seaside not 30A. I agree just too dangerous for everyone involved.

I saw the pick-up spot in front of Red Bar Saturday evening. As if that area is not already congested enough... Skunky assured me it was for a wedding. Lovely to know it's still here. I was really missing the smell of horse potty in the street since we left New Orleans.

Yes, very happily, horses aren't extinct. yet.

We might need to also remind them that they are in Walton County, not Destin.

I think it's great and love to see them !!!
Get over it ........Some of the tourist are just as bad ..............

beautiful black horses. Staging across from Mystic Porte, just north of Grayton. Cool idea, but a true hazard to many, I'm sure. When we passed them yesterday on 283, I guess they had just started, and the horses were a bit spooked. It won't be pretty when people dart out on bicycles in front of the horses in Seaside. I think a more appropriate area for the rides might be in old Pt Washington around Eden.

I saw them Sunday afternoon on 283 (Grayton rd?) and I could have sworn the horses were white and some guy in a car was checking them out and commenting on one's jitteryness/demeanor.

I don't think they should be on the road either!! What happens in mid July when is blazin' hot out?? Poor things!

The carriage was white, the harness padding red, the horses were jet black, and rather large. Really beautiful.

No, still thinking I saw white horses w/ white manes, but it WAS after brunch.

Is this a regular business now or just for special events like weddings?

And, do they have to bring plastic bags....like you do when walking your dog?

Here ya go- Sunday afternoon in front of Amavida-

plastic bags? more like a snow shovel and large bucket.

They have big plastic bags rigged to their back ends.

Just a Name

We might need to alsoemind them that they are in Walton County, not Destin.

I live in SWOL. The company name is Destin Horse and Carriage. I tried to come up the a general area for handle weddings, engagements, birthdays etc.
I Love SWOL. I dont need a reminder. Maybe I should change the name? SWOL horse and carraige? Would that be better?

Sorry DL, but Destin Horse and Carriage sounds nicer than Walton County Horse and Carriage IMO.

So so sorry maryjojo to make light of your business. I can see now that Smiling joe was right once again, they are black. Just keep posting and you'll get use to the "board" humor! Although, now I feel terrible at how easy it is to be talking about something I know nothing about. I really apologize if I said something that offended you. I truly am worried about the safety situation for the horses, cars and people.

I SeaHorse and Carriage!!! Only Shelly!

Horses and Carriages have the same rights as bikes and they were here first. If you need to go fast, take 395,283,83, or 393

I'm not bothered by the speed issue personally, but when I was behind them traveling north on 393, they were cresting a hill with zero visibility from the opposite direction. Driver patience seems to be in short supply during the season. My concern is for the safety of those beautiful horses.
