Horse Drawn Carriage Operator's Course

Learn more about horses working in NYC.

All New York City horse drawn carriage operators, also known as drivers, must have a basic knowledge of horse health care, emergency care of horses, proper harnessing, safe driving, and the laws that apply to them. The horse drawn carriage operator's course consists of self-study, classroom videos, and both written and practical examinations. Each participant must successfully pass all examinations to be issued a certificate of completion.

A certificate of course completion is required to apply for the horse driver's license from the New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP). Additionally, an applicant must hold a current valid motor vehicle driver's license (issued in the USA) to enroll in the horse drawn carriage operator training program.

Cost: $25

Frequency and Duration: The course is offered four times a year and is conducted over two days. Registrants will receive a training manual for self-study, and will have video presentations and a written exam on the first day. If you pass the written exam, you will then be scheduled for a practical exam on another day.

Prerequisite: You must have a valid motor vehicle driver's license issued in the United States to take this class. You will need to bring your driver's license on the first day of class.
