It’s rare when we voluntarily regress when it comes to technology. One major example of this is choosing to ditch the fancy cars and go for the ol’ horse and buggy.

In Lubbock, there are actually multiple options you have for renting horse-drawn carriages for a wide variety of events. So, let’s take things slow as we go over our options to stare at a horse’s rear for two hours in the Hub City.

Where Can I Rent Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides Around Lubbock?

Before you make your decision, you need to know what event it is that you want to hire a carriage in the first place. For instance, Boots and Bows Pony Parties focus on birthday parties and pony rides.

Lubbock Downtown Carriage Rides

Another choice is the carriage rides offered at Kingsgate Center right here in town. A perfect opportunity to take some friends or family through town in style while picking up some great food and last-minute Christmas gifts along the way.

Finally, if you want to explore the gorgeous scenery that is Ransom Canyon from the comfort of a horse-drawn carriage, then look no further than the services offered by RentX.

Consider a Victorian carriage ride with you and your special person as you view some of the most picturesque landscapes surrounding Lubbock.

Let me just say that they offer a “Cinderella-style coach” for storybook-inspired carriage rides, and I just think that’s amazing.

Horse-drawn carriage rides can cost a pretty penny, but if it’s doable, I highly recommend them for couples or family looking to make the holiday season that much more magical here in Lubbock.
