Carriages is
the only centre where you can find the manufacture and
restoration of carriages, the training of
carriage horses and instruction for their drivers all at one location.
Fenix Carriages was founded over 25 years ago by Mark Broadbent. Now based near Taunton, Fenix's team of craftsmen use modern and traditional techniques to build the highest quality show, commercial and competition vehicles. Mark Broadbent trained his first pony to harness at the age of eleven. He has been training horses ever since. By the time Mark hit the headlines in 1977, by winning at the Horse of the Year Show, he was developing and making his own carriages. Fenix rose from the need for a carriage that could withstand the rigours of competition. With a combination of highly trained ponies, driving ability and a Fenix Carriage, Mark was the 1984, 1985, and 1986 Pony Team National Champion.
He has become a well known international competitor and enjoyed great success in single, pair and tandem showing. Mark often competes with a horse team as well as running Fenix Carriages, teaching internationally and judging at the premier competitions worldwide.
Mixing Sport and Business can work, as Fenix Carriages have shown over the last 25 years. The Company has developed with the sport and grown to an organisation building modern and traditional vehicles, offering training and schooling facilities and advising bodies throughout the world. Fenix have the staff and resources to cater for beginners through to advanced competitors.
