We are pleased to announce our participation in this year's Fourth of July Parade in Navasota, Texas starting at 11am.

Our carriage will be led by Howdy & Harley, with Alex driving. The Belgian horses, Ace & Lou, will be pulling the wagonette, with their teamster Michaela. Liberty, Justice, and Handy will serve as outriders, helping keep us safe.

We invite you to attend the parade, cheer the horses on, and join us in commemorating America's 250th anniversary with a distinctive Texan style celebration.

We wish you and your family a Happy Fourth of July and look forward to seeing you at the parade tomorrow!
