The Reed Family started one of the only African American-owned carriage companies in Texas, in 2008 with a vision of sharing the beauty of horse drawn carriages with the Houston Community. They helped to further shape this vision by naming the company, Vintage Carriage Company where it would forever pay homage to their love of “the good old days and ways of life”. The family has traveled this country learning about the business, securing the best horses and carriages, and ensuring they would be bringing the best services to Texas.
Vintage Carriage company was founded on the belief that “to whom much is given, much is expected”; and they live by this mantra. This family continues to give back to the community by donating their services to countless funerals and events, including the historic funeral processions of Houston’s own Mr. George Floyd and U.S Army Soldier Vanessa Guillen. They regularly participate in Mayor Turner’s Juneteenth Parade, Cliffdale Baptist Church Annual Easter Event, numerous church celebrations, Christmas parades and other memorable events.
When the Reeds are not working, they enjoy being active members of the Prairie View Trail Riders Association, the Carriage Operators of North America Association, and the Acres Homes Chamber of Business and Economic Development, Inc.
Their other hobbies include traveling, trail riding and spending time with family and friends. They hope to have their children learn the business, and continue the tradition of giving back to the community.
