History and Practices
Top Hand Ranch was founded by Rick and Henry Newborn and was established in the early 1970's--becoming one of the first of its kind to provide quality carriage rides in the Old Sacramento of modern times; since then Rick and Dianne Newborn (Henry has since retired) have been dedicated to giving their customers the best possible experience when touring the Sacramento area. Your satisfaction is important to them and as such you will get your choice of color for both horse and carriage whenever possible. Inquire for possible options!
All of our carriage drivers are competent and well trained with many years of horse and carriage experience. Our drivers groom and take care of the horse and make sure they are in good health. They also maintain their carriage and follow a dress code.

Client Reviews
We did the Christmas Light tour through the fab 40's last week in one of the carriages. We had a wonderful driver and had a great time.
My daughter and her father arrived at her wedding in a carriage drawn by Stash and Dash. Our guests gasped when they came around the corner.
Top Hand Ranch made my day extra special. horse-drawn carriage with a beautiful white horse named Diamond. They were absolutely amazing!!!
Highly recommend this for your wedding. It was like a fairytale. So happy we did this! It was an amazing experience. Absolutely breathtaking.
Dianna and her awesome crew do rides in the Fab 40's at Christmas time to see the Christmas lights. OMG it was so amazing- we really enjoyed the slower pace.
We enjoyed our horse and carriage ride through Old Town Sacramento. The horses are so beautiful. We enjoyed the scenic carriage ride and price was reasonable.
