Our Sustainability Commitments

The Ostler Horse and Carriage Company exemplifies sustainable transport through its eco-friendly approach. By relying on well-cared-for horses instead of fossil-fuel-consuming vehicles, they significantly reduce carbon emissions and air pollution. This traditional mode of transport not only preserves local heritage but also promotes a slower, more mindful pace of travel, allowing passengers to reconnect with their surroundings. The company's commitment to responsible horse care and proper waste disposal further underlines their dedication to sustainable practices, making them a commendable choice for environmentally conscious travellers.
