Keeping Windsor’s carriage trade at work
Private Windsor visits and events, hosted by the people
who continue Windsor’s historic horse-drawn carriage trade.
We are a community of coachmen, horse people and hosts carrying Windsor’s historic horse-drawn Hackney carriage trade forward. Together, we care for the horses and historic carriages, practise traditional skills and share our knowledge through schools and community work. Privately hosted visits and events help sustain that work, giving guests a place in its continuing story.
WHY WE EXIST
A trade that refused to disappear.
As Windsor’s horse-drawn taxis gave way to motorcars, one licence remained horse-drawn. Ours.
Passed from one coachman to the next, it continued with the horses and carriages while the town changed around it. My father, John Seear, was part of that succession.
Every private visit and event supports the continuation of a working Windsor tradition: the horses, carriages, people and knowledge that keep it alive.

HOW WE CONTINUE THE TRADE
"Windsor, in wonderful company."
I grew up on Windsor’s carriages, watching my father welcome people to the town and estate we call home. Today, I get to share that same Windsor with our guests, alongside the coachmen and horses who keep our historic carriage trade at work.
I love seeing what stays with people. Sometimes it’s a story my father told me. Sometimes it’s a conversation with our coachman that changes how they see the estate. Those moments come from spending time with the people who know Windsor through working here.
Time together. Stories. Hospitality.
A question about one of our horses can take me straight back to a story my father told me. And sometimes it’s our guests who have the best story to tell.
