Circle C Carriages Is A Unique Way To See Southern Iowa

Southern Iowa is full of beautiful landscapes, charming small towns, and vast swaths of farmland. If you want to see it all the way people did a century ago, hop on board one of Circle C Carriages’ traditional horse-drawn vehicles. Based at stables in Clarinda, Iowa, this veteran horse company travels the region offering unforgettable rides at a reasonable price.

Circle C Carriages' horse-drawn cars have been a common sight in the Clarinda area for a long time - and are a staple of many residents' childhood.

When you board one of their carriages for a tour, you'll be in the hands of well-trained horses guided by a veteran driver.

The carriages will take you around town - or out of town, into the surrounding area to cover a wide range of Iowa terrain.

If you're there are the right time of year, you might get some stunning views of parks, lakes, or fall foliage.

But if you want a truly unforgettable ride, take one of these carriage adventures as night falls over the city.

Particularly in fall as the cool breeze refreshes you, there's nothing like a nighttime carriage ride to gain a new appreciation for Iowa.

In addition to their regular rides and events, Circle C Carriages can be found competing and giving rides at the Iowa State Fair every year.

And the horses don't just compete - they win! Many of Circle C Carriage's horses have a ribbon or two to their name.

If you have any doubt about the hardiness of these horses, many of them have been hired out to local farmers to plow their fields over the years.

Circle C Carriages also participates in local parades, so don't be surprised to see Saint Nick riding into town in style next December.
