All of the horses who pull carriages for the tours are recued Percheron draft horses who, for various reasons, were unwanted by Amish farmers and sold by auction. In their new life as chauffer for Wilmington’s tourists, they work only one week a month pulling carriages and then enjoy three weeks off where they roma around at Springbrook Farms in Leland.
