Event One
Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo
Two of our wagons run during rodeo season. The rodeo office has asked about a third for next year.
Wheelchair-Accessible · Built in Texas
Heritage wagons that start accessible.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is one of the largest in the world. For decades it had a single four-person handicap wagon — painted institutional grey, with a hydraulic lift that broke half the time. We decided to do better.

Rule
Every body gets a seat
Accessibility is in the silhouette, not bolted on.
Most “accessible” wagons start as a regular wagon with a hydraulic lift bolted onto the back. The result is heavy, prone to failure, and visually marked as separate — the wheelchair user is announced.
Our wagons start accessible. The rear gate is the ramp, hand-tooled from the same white oak as the rest of the bed. Two wheelchair tie-downs are part of the floor frame. A low-step entry runs down both sides for cane and walker users. The wheelchair rider boards with everyone else, on the same wagon, at the same time.
- Two integrated wheelchair tie-downs (three on the Pecos build)
- Rear-gate ramp in the same white oak as the bed
- Low-step entry both sides for cane and walker users
- Hand-stitched leather bench with grab handles at the right reach
- Heritage wagon silhouette — no grey paint anywhere
- Ten-rider capacity per wagon (mixed ambulatory + wheelchair)
