About us

Mo's Carriages and Trail Rides was founded by Moses Gagakuma.  A life long horse lover since he was 8 years old and grew up next to the military stables in Ghana. He and his brothers had fun with the horses attempting to replicate movie stunts, riding backwards, etc which may have landed in a few bruises as a child, scaring his mother with his boldness but making his father proud. The horses got to play, do fun rides, and Moses learned to be a great rider and horse caregiver.

Moses came to the U.S for a college track scholarship after an injury that deterred him from running in the Olympics.  From there he met others who shared their passion for horses and he visited a lot of Amish people in Tennessee who were willing to teach him how to drive a carriage.

You'll see a variety of people with Moses at events. Volunteers, workers, and Moses' family all sharing a passion for what we do.

We cherish our horses!  They all have different personalities, athletic abilities, foods they like and don't like, and have their best horse friends.  They each take their turn having vacation time and are transferred out of town to enjoy even more pasture land with no work and all play. We welcome visitors to the stables, as long as we're open of course!

We look forward to meeting you!


Moses and his team do an amazing job with their beautiful horses! They are very patient with newcomers and children. All the horses are very gentle and friendly too! Please do not hesitate to book him for your next event.
