Meet the horses
Cathmoss Odin
Our part bred 14hh skewbald welsh cob.
Odie has a loveable nature. He enjoys having a bath, his food, and rolling about in the mud! He loves to be driven, but also turns his hooves to riding as well.
Wightisland Wild Hercules
Hercules is a cheeky chappie. Standing at just 36" he is a miniature horse. He's totally laid back and never in a hurry. He loves to be cuddled and hangs around asking for treats.
Wightisland Wild Apollo
Apollo is the half brother of Hercules and our second skewbald. He has a totally different attitude to work than that of his brother, being very enthusiastic. He will stand for hours to be groomed and is very happy to give kisses.
Wightisland Wild Zeus
Zeus is the third half brother of Hercules and Apollo. He looks very much like Hercules, but is rather more forward going. He will sniff out treats at 50 paces, and often thinks he's a circus pony, standing on steps. He's a great addition to the team.

Carriage Driving Lessons
We are very happy to add carriage driving lessons to our repertoire. So if you've always fancied "having a go", or want to try pairs if you've been driving a single, please get in touch and we will be pleased to help.
Carriage driving in the countryside
We are situated in the south of the beautiful Isle of Wight, and invite you to join us on a countryside driving experience. Choose from our stunning Welsh cob, or our cute miniature horses for a different way to see the island. We can do one hour drives, pub drives, or a stop off at a beauty spot to have an ice-cream, or cup of tea. Doesn't that sound lovely?

Reviews

I cannot recommend Wight Wedding Carriages highly enough, the service provided was impeccable. Jo was so friendly and kept me informed every step of the way. Odie the cob and his carriage were a real talking point on our wedding day, both looked beautiful.
