We recently hired your beautiful Coconut Shy for a commercial photo shoot. James and his team have been a real pleasure to work with, especially helpful and accommodating.
I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again or recommend them to anyone looking to hire beautiful vintage amusements.

David & Bridget Shepley-Cuthbert
We cannot thank you, Antony and the team for your contribution to our 40th evening and the 'Yellow Perils' 100th birthday. Most guests jaws dropped as they turned into the field. The Galloper looked magic on Saturday evening as the light faded. It gave so much joy and fun to so many. Those little cars were heaven for small children who I gather were glued to them. The Hook-a-Duck and Coconut shy each gave pleasure to all ages. A big thank you for making my mad dream of a cars birthday party come true for all ages.

Littlehampton Town Council
Thank you so much for being a part of the "Littlehampton 150th" event. The day was a success and your involvement invaluable.

Lyndsay Ridley - English Heritage
The Gallopers were beautiful and even our director commented that it made the event! Thank you ever so much.
Also, your team were great and really good with the public. A big thumbs up all round!

Robyn Paiba, Art Director
As a busy art director in film and television I am always relieved to meet suppliers who not only meet your needs but surpass them.
James and the team at Horton's were a true pleasure to work with. Their patience and good humour when responding to any demand made the job run smoothly.
They supply a wonderful product and a reliable, efficient, affordable service.

I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for bringing the Gallopers to our wedding.
I can honestly say it made the wedding.
