Keeping Windsor’s carriage trade at work
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.
Today, I continue its custodianship alongside our professional coachmen. Together, we preserve the skills, care and working knowledge that have carried this trade through more than 175 years, and give it a future in the Windsor we know today.

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.
