Today’s post features links to some amateur videos of pleasure drives (or what the Europeans call “private drives”) in Holland. I’m assuming, at any rate, that these are in Holland, judging from the sheer number of Friesians, the descriptions in Dutch, and the traditional costumes on some of the drivers and passengers. And the first one says it was shot in Amsterdam … that would be a dead giveaway, I suppose.

This first video was sent to us by a CAA member. For anyone who, like me, is afflicted with … shall we say … “easy-onset” motion-sickness, this video is a little difficult to watch. But the carriages are varied and lovely.

From there, I kept exploring on YouTube and found these as well:

In all of these videos, the sound of hooves and wheels on pavement will be music to your ears. Enjoy!
