For the past several  years Martini Ranch Carriages has had the honor of delivering Santa and Mrs. Claus to the children at CSDR (California School for the Deaf in Riverside).  We bring them all through their Silent Sleigh parade route in style.  Then Santa signs with the children to find out their holiday resquests.  I would really like to know what our horse, Molly, asked Santa for this year.

We’ll be taking the Norco Royal Court up the parade route for the Norco Chamber of Commerce.  This is a fun parade to watch because its at night, no motorized vehicles are permitted, there are lights all over the horses and wagons and there is SNOW, food and festivities at the end of the parade!

We gave rides to over 500 people last Friday night in the City of Santee, CA.

We were able to consistently take 8 passengers per ride.

May you and your loved ones have a happy and safe Thanksgiving celebration!

Come by and see us on Sunday 11/23/08.  We plan on driving the carriage as soon as the sun goes down up 6th St. in Norco.  We have a lot of lights and the carriage is all decked out with brand new holiday decorations.  If you can’t find me, call my cell phone after 4PM at 951.809.7669.

It’s almost that time of year again.  We will be giving horse drawn carriage rides to folks starting on the Saturday night after Thanksgiving and finishing near New Year’s.  We will be down there almost every night.  We do have a few nights that we are already booked for private parties so email me now to inquire about specific dates.  Our rides start at about 5PM and last until about 9PM.  We pick up on Main St. behind the Mission Inn.

If you haven’t been there before, you will be amazed.  The Mission Inn of Riverside gets decorated each year to the hilt.  There are millions and millions of lights.  There are lavish decorations and even holiday music piped outside.  There will be an ice skating rink and lots of shops to wander around inside.  On many nights there are outside musicians and vendors.

The Mission Inn has several elegant restaurants inside and is surrounded by even more.  Bring your whole family down for a carriage ride.  It is a fun way to get into the Holiday Spirit.  I look forward to meeting you all.

Thank you to Julie Spencer and Megan Boxberger of The Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda, CA for inviting us to present our horse and carriage at your recent wedding expo.  We are proud to be your official carriage company and we LOVE to work in Orange County, CA.  After all, that is where I grew up.

Your club facilities are gorgeous.  A bride would be proud to have her wedding there.  I love the waterfall.  It would make a great photo backdrop.  Oh, and Larry Parker – the food was GREAT!!!

Great News!! The Black Gold Golf Course did NOT burn down in the recent fires. They are open for business as usual.

See for yourself:

My heart goes out to all who lost property in all the recent Southern CA fires.

We always enjoy the opportunities to experience other cultures. Last Sunday we drove our team, Molly & Trixie, in Moreno Valley for an Arabian wedding. The women are exotic and gorgeous. Their dresses were elaborate, bright and beautiful. Everyone danced and sang. The bride looked like a princess. They followed our carriage down the street for 45 minutes with their cars honking and speakers blaring Arabian music. We were proud to be a part of it.
