 Carriage Tours
Mackinac Island is dedicated to its horses. Restrictions on automobiles at the turn of the last century
ensure our horses are at the forefront of our way of life.
Over 600 horses are stabled on the Island during the summer
months with about 30 draft horses staying during the winter
to provide taxi and dray service to the community. Belgian,
Clydesdale, Irish Hackney, Percheron, Standard-Bred, and
combinations thereof are the breeds of choice for service
horses.
Mackinac Island Carriage Tours, Inc.
