Alberta Carriage Supply grew out of our appreciation of the history of the draft horse – and how they helped settle our country and worked so hard to build Western Canada. We believe there is something magical and mystical about them. And honest. They are hard-working and big-hearted animals who love to work.
More About Alberta Carriage Supply
Over the years, we’ve participated in a number of driving events, using horse-drawn farm equipment, wagons and sleighs, and regularly camp in the Rocky Mountains with teams and wagons.
This (of course) led to inevitable repairs being required as a result of breakdowns, and everyday wear and tear.
Because of the difficulty in having access to parts and a means to repair our equipment, we decided to become wheelwrights and took the wheelwright course at the Western Development Museum in Saskatoon.
We now maintain a complete inventory of carriage and wagon parts, offer a full repair service, as well as a place to buy horse-farming equipment.
We believe our hands-on experience in driving/repairing and maintaining all kinds of horse-drawn vehicles and implements gives us an excellent understanding of how things should work, and what happens when they don’t. We can do the same for you and your equipment.
