Toni Phillips | Renovator

Toni grew up on an old dairy farm that her parents bought to renovate. At age 9, she was bitten by the restoration bug and has since rehabilitated many historic spaces throughout Winston-Salem. This August, she’ll actualize item #4 on her bucket list and bring downtown Winston-Salem back to its horse-drawn roots with Camel City Carriage Co.

"A horse drawn carriage ride through downtown Winston Salem. Just the thought may conjure up romantic or nostalgic visions of simpler times. Toni Phillips with Leonard Ryden Burr Real Estate is starting a new horse drawn carriage business in downtown Winston-Salem  It's called Camel City Carriage Company and will be a great new vehicle for transportation in the Downtown and the Arts District Circuit. Plans are to have carriages out Thursday-Saturday evenings. They also are looking to keep the cost at an affordable rate to make the service attractive to everyone. Toni notes that the horses are great and will steal everyone's hearts. Plans are to commence service in early September."
