WE NEED YOUR HELP!! September 11, 2018, we were ordered to vacate Old Town Scottsdale by Karen Churchard of the Tourism and Events Department. Email us, you may request a copy of the "Dear John Letter" that we received from Ms. Chruchard and the City of Scottsdale, with the emails that told us "it didn't make sense to have subsidized Stagecoach Rides and Carriages Rides in Old Town." Our existing contract with the City of Scottsdale was prematurely canceled by Ms. Churchard, without cause to terminate. We went in front of the City Council and petitioned the City to honor our existing contract, and not force out the last full service Horse and Carriage Business left in Scottsdale, and in the State of Arizona. As it stands, we are to vacate Old Town before the end of the year and there will be no more Stagecoach Rides or Carriage Rides, or Wagon Art Walk Rides in Old Town Scottsdale.
We ask for your help if you want horses in Old Town Scottsdale, please send emails to the following:
City Manager, Jim Thompson CityManager@Scottsdaleaz.gov
Mayor Jim Lane, jlane@Scottsdaleaz.gov
