Kris and Aurelia owned Riverside Carriage for 6 years before selling the business to Mark & Maggie Ward in the Spring of 2019.
They met thru their love of horses while performing at Dixie Stampede in Pigeon Forge , TN. While we both grew up with a passion for horses, they thrived in different disciplines thru the years. Together, they turned their love of horses, people and events into the business known, today, as Riverside Carriage Company.
