The Carriage Classic is a two-day antique carriage riding competition on the grounds of Villa Louis in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Participants compete in several categories of events over the course of two days, including things like the Junior Reinsmanship, Antique Turnout, Large Pony Open Cross Country, and Picnic Class. The carriages are beautiful examples of art meets function.
