Our People
The people behind the horses
THE PEOPLE CONTINUING OUR LICENSED TRADE
Windsor’s carriage trade continues through the people who practise its skills, care for its horses and pass on their knowledge.
I’m Rebecca Seear, daughter of Windsor coachman John Seear, who worked in the trade for more than fifty years. My father held the licence that became Windsor’s final horse-drawn taxi licence. Today, I continue its custodianship.
Today, I continue that work alongside people who knew and worked with my father, together with others who have joined us through Windsor’s equestrian community and the relationships we’ve built along the way.
Around our coachmen and horses is a wider circle of craftspeople, guides, hosts and local specialists. Together, we keep historic carriages working, share our knowledge with schools and community organisations, and welcome guests into Windsor’s living carriage heritage.
Rebecca Seear, The Coachman’s Daughter
Shelby Edwards
Head of Hospitality
Shelby brings warmth and thoughtful hospitality to every visit, making guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. An accomplished carriage driver, she competed at national level for many years. She and her husband Jonathan, our Head Coachman, are raising the next generation of coachman’s daughters.
Rebecca Marshall
Estate Guide & Operations Manager
Rebecca worked with my father and grew up around Windsor’s carriages. Now living on the estate, she brings that longstanding connection to her work as a guide and Operations Manager. She helps bring our visits together with care and shares the Windsor she knows through daily life here.
Crispin Mould
Horseman & Photographer
Crispin joins selected visits to quietly capture moments as they unfold. His photography preserves the atmosphere, shared memories and small details of your day. Crispin worked for my father before The Royal Mews and his own Arabian breeding stud on the edge of Windsor Great Park.
Meet Our Horses
The Real Bosses
Our horses are at the heart of the carriage trade. We shape each horse’s work around what suits them, from the roads they take to the pace of the day. Joey is particularly fond of driving past the village school at the moment as there is lots going on. He’s also rather partial to a Polo.
Continuing The Trade
There are more horses and people behind a day with Windsor Carriages than you’ll meet on this page.
Professional coachmen and experienced grooms join us for events, caring for the horses, preparing the harness and carriages, and getting everything ready before guests arrive.
That work is how Windsor’s carriage trade continues today.
Our coachmen, grooms, guides and hosts all help carry Windsor’s carriage trade forward. Each brings their own experience, traditions and stories. And every horse has a character and a story of its own.
