The address is of Rustic Valley Farms is 4810 Olive Branch Stone lick Rd. Batavia OH 45103. This listing site does not show it, but this is a real location.

Ohio Valley Carriage Club (OVCC) is a club of carriage collectors and horse owners who hold “rides” throughout the year, where members bring their horses and carriages to a location, harness up, and then “drive at will” through the location (that is, not a parade).

Some of the members wear period clothing to add to the authenticity. Traditionally we have made our photos available to the Carriage Club afterwards for personal use. If they want to use your photo for non-personal use, they will contact you to work out an agreement/payment.
Be Respectful – The carriage owners will not mind if we take photos during their harnessing process, but they will not want to hold conversations during that time to prevent an error in harnessing potentially causing a safety issue.

It has been since August 2017 our last meetup with the Ohio Valley Carriage Club at Armco Park (that other OVCC).
Bad Weather: watch your email the night before and the morning of in case we issue a weather-related notification.

We will be asking anyone who comes to sign our liability waiver acknowledging that you understand the OH equine law and that being on a farm has inherent hazards. See Below.

LIABILITY DISCLAIMER: As with all events posted on the OVCC Meetup board, in behalf of you, your family and all your other stakeholders, you understand the risks of such an event and accept entire responsibility and liability for your safety, welfare and losses, as well as those you register, indemnifying and holding OVCC organizers harmless.
