Spa Esoteric has worked with Shannon for a few years now. Offering extended services to clients who have spa appointments for birthdays, anniversary's, holidays or any other occasion. Our clients have always delighted in taking a ride through McKinney, dropping them off at a restaurant, or taking them on a tour. Shannon has always been flexible with the time schedule and the clients. We refer her to everyone. Her horses are always welcome for peppermints at the spa. Thanks Shannon, for making our clients McKinney experience just the best!!

Shannon is great. She arrived on time, and even decorated the carriage in the wedding colors! It was the perfect end to my daughters wedding!

Traditionally, in Indian weddings, the groom comes on a horse with much fan fare!! Shannon was prompt in responding to all our emails/questions and she showed up before time on the day of the wedding!! She did a great job in handling the horse during the procession even with all the loud music and drums!! Highly recommend this vendor!

Shannon is simply amazing, and her attention to detail is impeccable. The carriage ride added that perfect amount of romance, and she helped make a dream come true. I wish I could give her more stars.

If I could rate Shannon as 10 star service I surely would. She provided us with a special addition to our wedding reception with the most professional and pleasant manner. I highly recommend her to anyone.

I had alot of little things go wrong at the last minute people saying they would do this and they would do that, many of them were a disappointment. However, Shannon Cole was one of the few that did exactly what she said she would do. She arrived on time, dressed exactly like she said she would be. She was pleasure and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her services. Cindy Wheeler

Vendor recommendation from Circle Park Bridal Boutique of Addison

All of the brides I know that have used Happy Trails have been so complimentary of the service they received. From the carriage being absolutely immaculate and the horses perfectly groomed, to the incredible service they received, each one has relayed nothing but positive things to say about Happy Trails.

Vendor recommendation from RainFlorist Designs

Happy Trails is absolutely the only carriage company I would trust with any of my brides. Beautiful white horses (most other companies have black horses.. how funeral!) that are so well treated and loved. Great customer service. Shannon will do anything to make her bride's ride magical and memorable.

Happy Trails Carriage Service is by far the most professional in the industry. Shannon knows what it takes to pull off a breath taking entrance and exit with her carriage and white horses. If you make an appointment with Shannon you can always depend on her being there well dressed and on time.

FAQ for Happy Trails Carriage Service

What types of cars do you have in your fleet?
Horse and Carriage
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes
Describe your fleet and drivers:
I have two vis-a-vis carriages one with burgandy velvet interior and one with white vinyl interior. I also have an antique Surrey that is black and red with burgandy vinyl interior. We are always professional, sharply dressed and ready to entertain. The carriages may have one or two beautiful white horses, but they have two most often which does not have any additional cost.
What (if any) amenities are your vehicles equipped with?
We have cd/mp3 and I Pod I Phone connections to the stereoes in each carriage as well as LED twinkly lights and a base of white silk roses that are ready to have your wedding colors added.
Is there a minimum amount of rental time that is required?
There is a one hour minumum on all jobs that require the horses and carriage transported to your location.
Do you offer more than just pickup and drop-off? If yes, what services?
I offer a white horse or horses to ride into entrances of weddings, both for American and India weddings. I also offer bringing the bridesmaids to the aisle, flower girls, ring bearers and the bride and her father when possible. I can also give short rides during the reception to keep the guests entertained. We are always able to do photo shoots as well whether it be for just the bride and groom, or the whole family.
Do you charge for travel time?
I charge for travel time if it is more than 30 miles from McKinney,TX.
What is your overtime rate?
My overtime rate is usually half the amount of the first hour or a little less. I offer a discount for more than two hours generally.
What (if any) associations are you a member of?
I am also a Main Street McKinney member, and a Lone Star Equine Council Member of Collin County.
Additional Advice
Things not to do at your wedding:
1)Have sparklers or any kind of fireworks close to the horses, sparklers are fireworks and the smoke instinctually frightens a horse when they smell it. They also do not do well in the wind. Sparks could fly into the horses hair and burn them. Most cities also have ordinances prohibiting them as well.
2)Do NOT spray silly string or throw things at the horses, this could spook them and cause injuries or damage to guests and surrounding property.
3)Always consult the driver before attempting to bring any other animal near a carriage, i.e. dogs, tigers, elephants, other horses and live doves as these animals may not always act safely near each other.
4)Do not tie cans to the back of the carriage as the noise may spook the horses and cause a runaway.
Additional information:
We can only travel 2-3 miles in an hour. Do not expect this to happen in any extreme weather such as rain storms, or excessive heat. The horses cannot handle these conditions safely and it could do physical harm to them.


It is ok to blow bubbles or throw rose petals around the horse and carriage. A bottle of champagne can be left in the carriage for the bride and groom. Decorations can also be put on the carriage by the florist in some occasions. Clapping and cheering is definitly ok as well as loud music as the horses are trained to be desensitized to these things.
