White Horse and Carriage Company

White Horse and Carriage Company

While the cowboys who worked the cattle drives rode endlessly in the saddle, only the cook enjoyed the luxury of sitting on a spring seat. Somebody had to take four in hand reining the hitch, so why not the one person who had the longest hours and perhaps the hardest job. Although, carriages were far more fancier than the chuckwagons and they came in different styles, names and seating. My favorite carriage is the Vis-a-Vis as they were a common sight back east as the west was being tame.

White Horse and Carriage Company, owned and operated by entrepreneurs,  Christina White and Jamar McCracken expanded their business to the gulf coast city of Corpus Christi, Texas. Jamar began riding horses when he was  twelve years old and has been carriage driving since 2007.  Christina, a graduate of Texas A&M, San Antonio has a bachelors degree in Political Science. She began working part time while in college driving a carriage. Christina and Jamar teamed up, purchasing their own Vis-a-Vis carriage and white Percheron horse named Lacy in 2009.
