Billy |
Charlie
|
Clark |
Bob |
(Height: 18 “hands”; Breed: Percheron; Sign:
Pisces) Billy is tall, lanky Percheron, who likes long walks
under the trees. This laid-back horse has been doing tours for
over 5 years. Though he's a bit gangly looking, he is actually
from a prize-winng bloodline, and he never lets us forget it.
He enjoys country music while chowing down his favorite food,
beet pulp.
|
(Height: 16 “hands”; Breed: Percheron; Sign:
Aquarius) Being an Aquarius, Charlie is very inventive. He
is believed to be the reincarnation of Harry Houdini, having learned
how to liberate himself and his favored co-workers from their
stalls. (He also knows how to hold a grudge…he never let
Pete out!) Charlie’s favorite movie is Hildago.
|
(Height: 15.2 “hands”; Breed: Percheron;
Sign: Cancer) Clark is the veteran of the barn. He has trained
many drivers in the fine art of leisurely-paced tours. This sometimes
chubby Percheron, has to limit his sweets in order to maintain
the lean figure favored by his girlfriend, Lady Bug (see below.)
Clark likes pizza crusts from Vinnies.
|
(Height: 18 “hands”; Breed: Belgian; Sign:
Aquarius) Bob is a husky Belgian, who’s favorite game
is Hide ‘n’ Seek. When not working, Bob likes to run
in the paddock and whinny at the barn cat. His favorite music
is Country, particularly Billy Currington, having met him on a
tour. (He was star struck...he didn't wash his face for a
week!)

Kevin |

Murphy |
Guinness |
Justice |
(Height: 17.2 “hands”; Breed: Percheron;
Sign: Capricorn) According to his former owner, Kevin seemed
destined to lead folks through a city as beautiful as Savannah.
Just as he did at his original home at Rock Bottom Farms in Savannah,
Ohio, (we didn't know there was a "Savannah Ohio"
either!) he takes his work seriously, and takes pride in
a job well done. This noble gentleman, who is generally reserved,
clearly enjoys meeting the public.
|
(Height: 17.2 “hands”; Breed: Belgian; Sign:
Gemini) One of the two “babies” in our stable,
Murphy is a bit of a narcissist, having carefully groomed that
stunning "Troy Donahue" bleach blond surfer dude look…(Murphy
insists his color is all natural, however). Like his
twin half brother Guinness, Murphy was found with his muzzle deep
in a bucket of Hops and Barley.
|
(Height: 17.2 “hands”; Breed: Belgian; Sign:
Gemini) The other “baby” is this four year old
who took right to the street. Guniness got his name after being
found sneaking Hops and Barley with his brother Murphy. Guniness
is usually very lazy, but loves to buck and roll and romp when
let out to play. Guinness loves a good Irish limerick now and
again.
|
(Height: 17.2 “hands”; Breed: Percheron;
Sign: Sagittarius) Justice just can't help looking and whinnying
at this reflection in store windows as he passes on tour. He is
also from Savannah, Ohio (see Kevin) but has an entirely
different approach to his work. Justice pays little attention
to the passing scenery (unless it's his reflection) and is content
to distract himself with the carriage equipment while letting
the other horse in the team make all the decisions.

Ladybug |
King |
Cheney |
Dell |
(Height: 16 “hands”; Breed: Belgian; Sign:
Libra) This former “Miss Georgia Equine”, has
no trouble getting dates. The barn gossip is that she and Clark
are an “item”. Lady Bug pines for Clark in his absence
and whinnies his name until he returns. The duo are stabled right
next to one another, as they like it. LadyBug loves to get a good
pedicure (look for her “twinkle toes” when she’s
working).
|
(Height: 17.3 “hands”; Breed: Percheron;
Sign: Pisces, "on the cusp of Aries") King, a pedigreed
Percheron, (his registered name is actually Excelsior Leviticus)
is entrhalled by the beauty of the city. He enjoys the tours as
much as our passengers. He is very observant, noticing not only
the lovely squares and historic homes, but every cobblestone, crosswalk
or manhole cover as he leads passengers through the streets of Savannah.
(Santa may have to bring him a camera.) |
(Height: 18 “hands”; Breed: Percheron; Sign:
Aquarius) Though he thinks he is a lap dog, Cheney is another
of our registered Percherons, (a.k.a. Rolling Hills Cheney).
He is very affectionate, but King tells us it's just Cheney 'kissing
up' to us in order to get more play time. As it is, he gets plenty
of play time between tours because he brings his rubber ducky
to the carriage stand. (as pictured) Now really, how
many jobs are there where you get to take your toys to work?
|
(Height: 17 “hands”; Breed: Percheron;
Sign: Taurus) Bull headed Dell, likes to show who’s
boss. He gets along well with Charlie as long as Charlie does
his share of the pulling... which is about 10% of the time. He's
not the most affectionate horse when it comes to strangers (count
your fingers after petting him). Though he's all business
at work, Dell does love a good laugh (see his picture)
and a good belly scratchin'.

O'Shea
|

|
|
| |
(Height: 17.2 “hands”; Breed: Belgian; Sign:
Leo) Watch out, ladies! This blue-eyed blonde
is a 'hottie'! "Shea," as we call him, is still
in training. Though he is our newest employee, only three years
old, he has quickly made it known that he has the drive and ambition
to work his way to upper management. Despite his pretty face, he
is very centered and in touch with his 'inner horse.' |
If you are a hard-working draft horse who
would like to work in the sunny south, please contact our barn manager.
Great benefits including food, lodging, and comprehensive health
care.

Carriage Tours of Savannah owes a great deal
of debt to horses like Fred and Duke who have helped contribute
to our success.

Duke
Few people have the privilege of working with
such noble animals as our beautiful draft horses. They have made
a lasting impact on everyone at CTOS.
