CARRIAGES AND TACK ROOM

1925 by the famous restorer D. Enrique García.

It is composed of ‘Pescante para Mayoral and Lacayo’, the carriage has a capacity of four
people, and two coachmen. Built entirely of the finest wood.

It can be hooked to “cuarta” or “media potencia” (4 and 5 horses respectively), “quinta a la

All its parts are in perfect working order.

This carriage is of great beauty, simplicity with a distinctive character.

It represents the classic image of Williams & Humbert and Jerez. It is used in carriage contests
and other special events such as fairs, exhibitions, for use with distinguished guests and
visitors, etc, and is run by the Public Relations Department, who has responsibility for its use.

DOMADORA

A very robust and strong carriage, specially designed for daily horse training in our stables. It is
a ‘taylor made’ by the world famous Jerezano coach makers ‘Talleres Simon’ in 1969.

It is composed of ‘Pescante para Mayoral and Lacayo’, the carriage has a capacity of four
people. For more strength, there are more pieces of iron in its construction, combining with
the use of wood.

The same as with the Peter, it can be hooked to “cuarta” or “media potencia” (4 and 5 horses
respectively), “quinta a la larga” and even “de fantasía” (from 7 to 11 horses).

The English harness: Harness for four horses. Entirely finished in black patent leather and used
for many years in solemn ceremonies, though rarely used today. Made by the famous harness
maker Francisco Duarte in the middle of the 20th century.

The Andalusian harness: Typical harness used in Andalusia and the one in most common use
today. There are three different decorations with different tassels: yellow and green, blue and
a third with yellow and red colours. Used for six horses. These vibrant colours compliment the
atmosphere at the local horse fair (Feria del Caballo) of Jerez and others.
