Carriage Rides at the Mission Inn in Riverside

We would be happy to give you rides just about ANYWHERE OTHER than the Mission Inn Festival of Lights Riverside, CA

Why?  Due to extended family health issues this year, we could not commit to a whole season at the Mission Inn so we decided not to get our Downtown Riverside permits.  We would be happy to take you and your family elsewhere in Southern CA to see holiday lights.  Minimum carriage rental times start at one hour.  Book now because our times are filling up fast. It’s perfect for neighborhood block parties.

Contact us at n2horsn@aol.com or text 951.809.7669.

Join us for an evening of Holiday splendor.  You will want to make it a tradition to share with your family and loved ones each year.  Below is the information about the Mission Inn rides that we may due in future years.  It could help you as far as what you’ll need to know if you ride with another company this year.  There will be other companies giving rides there.  I do not know which ones.


Tours of the Holiday lights and decorations will be from 5:00PM – 9:00PM.  Walk up and jump in our line or book a PRIVATE TOUR.
