So too is another mode of transportation, one whose story predates electrical power â horse-drawn carriage rides.
Hundreds of Union County residents have received rides in a horse-drawn carriage over the past five months, many for the first time, thanks to a new service provided by Matt and Veronica Henneke, the owners of Henneke Farm Carriage in La Grande.
The Hennekes are providing quarter-mile horse-drawn carriage rides throughout Union County, plus much longer ones for celebratory events, such as weddings, prom dates and birthdays. All rides are given in an elegant carriage that would fit right in at a royal wedding in London, with comfortable red velvet seats, ornate designs and an immaculate white exterior.
