ELEGANT COACHING
CARRIAGES
1914 Brewster Large Country Wagonnette
What fun to express your elegance in
a vehicle to match your fancy occasion. With your lively
pair of prancers ahead of your open and elegant Brewster
Wagonnette, with room for four in the cushioned rear
seats and one up with the coachman, you can arrive at
your reception or event here
in a style rarely seen today. We have horse-drawn
farm implements and commercial
tradesmens' vehicles, too, but shown here are the
fancy coaches! The beautiful models are our students
and instructors playing dress-up together just after
they had completed a typical
curriculum of our July 2001 driving
school. Thanks, ladies!

The
Bundoran Farm elegant coaching vehicles are descended
from our Scott ancestors and include ( shown here on the
right) our great-grandfather's Clarence Brougham (which
he purchased new around 1870).
It was made by Flandreau and Company of New York City
and is an extremely formal vehicle for a gentleman and
his family. It seats four inside, with room for one more
next to the coachman. |
Our
grandmother's graceful 1910 Brewster Victoria, is as elegant
a lady's vehicle as there is.
Elizabeth Strother Scott died in 1926 but before then
she drove this vehicle regularly. After her death it was
given to her daughter Mrs. John H Bocock, then, by her
children to our cousin Mr William T. Reed III, who passed
it on to us.
It seats two under the collapsible hood. |
Our
aunt Mrs John H. Bocock also owned this c.1920 Rockaway
omnibus, which is used as a semi-formal carriage.
Fully restored with a dark blue interior, its vertically
sliding windows make it ideal for variable weather.
It can be pulled either by a single horse or a pair, and
it seats four inside. |
For
the lovers of the flashy single horse put to an elegant
cart we offer our 1890 Studebaker Dog Cart.
Carrying four dos-a-dos (back to back), it's really
stylish when put to an elegant light horse. |
The
Kentucky breaking cart carries a driver plus one, is used
for mostly for training, but is perfectly appropriate
as a light sporting cart, as well.
Sometimes, we use our carriages creatively, as Jennifer
and Greg Love did for a reception after their wedding.
They used our carriage house
for a party, and it was a lovely event!
Interested? Contact one of our event
managers for details. |
A
1900 Irish Jaunting Car Typically Irish, this vehicle -
made in Killarney - would carry four passengers, one driver,
and luggage behind one heavy horse.
It was the Irish commercial taxi, and - because of its separated
seats over each wheel, is sometimes called a "courting
cart." |
The
ultimate sporting gentleman's vehicle is the Bronson wagon.
Perfect for a country outing, it's pulled by a single
horse or pair and carried four. |
