Before you can drive a horse drawn carriage for hire, fare or reward in South Australia you need to be accredidated.
Horse drawn driver accreditation applies to horse and carriage journeys where a passenger may book the service beforehand and engage the operator of the horse drawn service for special events or for tourism services.

Applicants for horse-drawn driver accreditation should contact the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, Accreditation and Licensing on 7109 8117 for information regarding course and application requirements.
Driver obligations
While working, accredited drivers:
- must have zero blood alcohol levels and be drug free
- must display their photo ID accreditation
- cannot refuse a passenger with an assistance dog
- cannot discriminate against a person because of the person’s sex, race, disability, age, marital status, sexuality or pregnancy
- cannot drive a public passenger vehicle if their driver’s licence is expired, suspended or disqualified, or has been cancelled.
Drivers who disregard these requirements may face either temporary or permanent disqualification of their accreditation.
The information provided relates to the requirements of the South Australian government. It is recommended that drivers also ensure that they are aware of any policies of their associated booking service or operator accreditation.
