Bring back the good old days with ornate, historically faithful sleighs, carriages, and other historic vehicles. Open since 1959, Martin’s Buggy Shop is your one-stop provider for your horse-drawn transport needs:
- Custom sleighs (7 models), buggies, carriages, and more
- Full restorations, whether you have a worn-out auction buy or a pile of parts from the back of Grandpa’s barn
- Pre-owned buggies, sleighs, and carriages
- Parts and accessories for your carriage or sleigh
Sleigh Styles for Any Effect You Want
Choose from a 7-model range—from larger sleighs for commercial or tourism uses, all the way down to shelf sleighs.
You can expect the same exquisite details and attention to craft, no matter how you’ll be using your sleigh:
- Family time and entertaining. Create unforgettable memories as you glide through a winter wonderland with the people you love.
- Business decor. Grab the attention of passersby all winter with an authentic sleigh as the centerpiece of your seasonal landscape.
Special events. Get a custom build for your parade, photo shoot, or promotional event—we’ve even built sleighs for a Wisconsin reindeer race!
Restore Your Estate Sale Find or a Family Heirloom
If your family’s irreplaceable sleigh or carriage needs some love, this is the place to bring it back to life. Maybe it’s been rusting in storage for 100 years, or maybe it just needs new runners or shafts. If it’s a vehicle you care about, let’s get it back on the road looking showroom-new.
Traditional Design, Modern Performance
Your sleigh or carriage will breathe the same historic class as the ones your great-grandfather drove. That’s because we still craft key parts by hand, instead of using mass-produced parts that under-perform and look cheap.
You’ll notice the smooth curves, tight joints, and classic aesthetics. Meanwhile, we’ve upgraded to modern materials in key bearing and suspension components.
The resulting vehicle has the appearance and atmosphere of an heirloom, but a better lifespan and a smoother ride.
Seeing Is Believing
If you’re passionate about your horse-drawn vehicles, you need to see our Nappanee showroom. It’s like stepping back in time—you’ll see new and used sleighs, buggies, wagons, and more, including:
- Pony carts, horse carts, and wagons
- A half-scale surrey
- A hand-carved wooden horse
It’s one of the best places in the country to get ideas, see what’s possible, and locate things you couldn’t find elsewhere.
