PRESCOTT -- Jim Fenley likes to call his horse-and-carriage rides "the most fun you can have at 3 miles per hour."

The Walla Walla County resident and his wife, Amy, are behind the reins of a new transportation company that relies on old-fashioned horse power to usher passengers through the streets of downtown Walla Walla. Specifically in the form of an 8-year-old dapple gray percheron gelding named Maddock.

Now approaching their first anniversary in business, the Fenleys and Maddock are becoming familiar faces throughout the downtown area.

This weekend brings a new twist to the business. As part of Holiday Barrel Tasting weekend, the Fenleys have partnered with four wineries to transport passengers between tasting rooms free of charge via AJ Carriages vis-a-vis rides. From noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Maddock will walk a continuous loop from the Plumb and Mansion Creek cellars tasting room at 9 S. First Ave. to Forgeron Cellars, 33 W. Birch St., and around to Sinclair Estates, 109-B E. Main St.
