The company name on the back of the carriage is Fantom Horse Tours.
This is an unusual sight in Ballarat, especially since this is in the main street. At this stage the driver had gotten out to go to into a shop, and left the horse with only a little dog in attendance. The horse was very good and didn't budge. The driver came back and saw me taking photos and said if I made a donation to the horse feed fund I could take as many as I liked. Cheek? Anyway I gave him $2.

Driver's a little short, don't you think? As far as the tip for taking photos, I run into the same thing at the Ft. Worth Stockyards. Many of the folks who play historic characters work for tips and most of them are polite about the way they suggest them. There is only one regular who I find obnoxious with the manner in which he suggests it, so I just don't photograph him. I've also paid the shoeshine guys for letting me photograph them at work. The folks who earn their money in some other way (Like the carriage drivers), I don't usually offer a tip, though I do come back and give them a print if the photo turns out well. I may need to rethink that and perhaps offer a tip. They might be losing a paying fare while standing there letting me take photos.
