Old-South-Carriage-Company

A typical work day at Old South Carriage Company starts at 6 am.  We then feed the ten horses that we have in the barn and clean all then stalls.  After that we gather the tack (horse gear) from the tack room according to which horses are scheduled to work that day.  We usually have up to 14 horses working daily. We unload the horse trailer that brings in the extra horses from the farm.   After that we groom, dress and put them on their carriages. 

I didn't know anything about horses when I started in 2013. Everything I know, I learned on the job.

Old South has an awesome management staff. They support all of their employees and try to keep a family type environment going.

The hardest part of the job is having a sick or injured horse.

The most enjoyable part of the job is that I get to work with horses and interact with the customers that come from all over the globe.

I loved my time with Old South! I just wish it had guaranteed year round full time hours with benefits. My son needed braces and a few specialist visits which required me to get a job with benefits and guaranteed hours. For anyone not needing these two things, this is an excellent job! Every one is really great to work with and the atmosphere is pretty mellow and lots of fun. You go to work with people who treat you like family and the dinner parties are the absolute best!! Working with the horses feeds your soul. It’s pretty physical but vary rewarding. The hours get to you after a while but management is AWSOME at making sure you don’t do a closing then an opening shift. Management is super easy to talk to and do everything they can to help you out. Old South was the best work environment I’ve ever had. 

Best part about working for Old south was working with the beautiful horses. Approached Old South to inform and instruct the knowledge and experience I have with horses. I had to fight to have appropriate care of the ailing horses, proper nutrition and safe stable environment. They lost the best barn manager to a over bearing male inforced management who believe they can push horses beyond the limit. They also lost a great manager of nine years to the same newly found GM who has no horse experience. They need to start treating employees with respect and take care of them.

My work experience at Old South was great. I worked in a number of positions and all were fun in their own way.  Working with the horses is a lot of fun and even in my customer service role it was great working around them.  The management team was good and always was helpful.  It felt like a family and I enjoyed the other people that worked there.  It was a physically demanding job and the summers are hot but still was enjoyable.  

I recently retired and was looking to work with horses on a part time basis.  I live in Charleston and this was the perfect fit for me.  I travel a good deal in retirement and one concern was would the company work with me so I could continue my extensive travel schedule.  I am pleased to report the management team has been excellent to work with and have had no issues. 

Old South is a great and fun place to work.  Everyone is welcoming and nice and everyone works as a team to provide a good experience for the customers.  Management has an open door policy and they consider life/work balance.  It is refreshing to work in a positive atmosphere with good caring people and wonderfully, well taken care of horses.  You can feel proud to work at Old South!  

Great place.  Customer is #1.  Small family atmosphere.  High standards for horse care.  Happy customers.  Opportunities to grow and move up.  Pay is better than a lot of other places.  Definitely recommend.

Loved this place when I worked as a barn hand. Really great staff including management! Fair pay, low stress and fun especially if you love horses. I was so impressed how well the horses were cared for. Overall i had a very positive experience, and I still go back to see the ponies on occasion.

Management is harsh and overbearing but the rest of the place is fantastic.  The coworkers are great, the work environment is alright and as long as you stay away from the bad side of management you are doing well.  This company is a great place if you stay well within the lines.

Everyone there is helpful, kind and it’s a family like community. loved working there! Strong management and strong leadership! Strong work ethic is noticed and treated well.
