WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
I had the most amazing time exploring Old Town Scottsdale on a horse carriage ride with Pair-a-Dice Carriages. The carriage ride was so relaxing and peaceful, the perfect way to see the historic sights of the city. Our drivers were incredibly knowledgeable and personable, providing interesting facts and information about the area and their horses.
The horses were well-trained and clearly happy, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, the ride was a truly unique and memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind adventure in Old Town Scottsdale. Thank you, Pair-a-Dice Carriages, for a wonderful time!

Episode 3: No Hoof, No Horse 🐴
Read the full article on our website www.pairadicecarriages.com or our mini series version on Facebook!
Hello again, friends! 👋
We’ve been busy re-shoeing all of our horses this week, so it’s the perfect time to talk about something that doesn’t always get discussed enough — their feet.
When it comes to horses, especially working drafts, feet are everything. A horse’s soundness, comfort, and even attitude start from the ground up. We take huge pride in hoof care — it’s one of the first things people notice about our teams, and for good reason!
✨ Why Hoof Care Matters
You’ve probably heard the saying: “No hoof, no horse.”
Here’s why we take that seriously:
• Strong, balanced hooves support the horse’s entire body
• Proper shoeing prevents strain, soreness, and fatigue
• Regular trims and maintenance keep joints and movement in alignment
• Healthy feet = happy, sound horses
🦄 Why We Use Scotch Shoes
We switched from standard keg shoes to Scotch shoes about two years ago — and the difference has been incredible. They provide better traction, shock absorption, and comfort for our horses pulling carriages on pavement.
Fun fact:
➡️ A horse wearing a keg shoe hits the ground with about 150 PSI of force.
➡️ A Scotch shoe cuts that in half to 75 PSI — easing joint stress and improving recovery.
💕 The Foundation of Soundness
Whether we’re at a rodeo or downtown on a wedding carriage, everything starts with healthy feet. Every trim, every shoe, and every detail is about giving our horses the best chance at a long, happy, and sound life.
This system works for us — and our horses tell us every day that it’s worth it. ❤️

Episode 2- Draft Horses Through Time
Why do we still use draft horses today?
With all our modern technology, you’d think these gentle giants would be a thing of the past. But as Winston Churchill said —
“There’s something about the outside of a horse that’s good for the inside of a man.”
That truth still hits home every time we step into the barn. Horses remind us to slow down, stay present, and find strength in connection — not machinery.
Living History
Before tractors and trucks, draft horses built nations — plowing fields, hauling freight, and pulling stagecoaches across the frontier. Today, they still serve with purpose — in farming, logging, therapy, and carriage rides — touching hearts in ways machines never could.
At Pair A Dice Carriages, every time we harness up, we’re honoring over a century of tradition. The jingle of harness, the rhythm of hooves — it’s more than a show; it’s history brought to life.
Keeping this legacy alive is both an honor and a responsibility. Every drive we take teaches patience, teamwork, and respect — timeless lessons worth preserving.
