A WINTER WONDERLAND
THE Ultimate Low Impact Winter Sport
Skiing, skating, sledding, and snow shoeing...
All great winter sports in Maine, but mere mortals can't do them 24 hours a day. So if you need a break from some of the more strenuous winter sports -- or if you just want to enjoy some winter scenery while relaxing--a sleigh ride is the perfect solution.
A Sleigh Ride is relaxing. Your ears are treated to the jingling of sleigh bells; your eyes are treated to scenes of white winter enchantment, and your lungs are treated to crisp country air. When you crawl into bed afterwards, you'll find that relaxing combination is about the best sleeping remedy on the market; you'll drift off to slumberland with the sounds of jingle bells still floating around you.
"This simple,
old-fashioned sleigh ride was providing an opportunity to experience so much -
to view nature up close and personal, to make world slow down, to feel
connected with friends and family in a special environment, to create fond
memories, and to experience an activity from days gone by." Glenn group from
Boston
HOW TO DRESS
The most basic rule is: It’s winter and you’ll be outside, so dress to stay warm on your sleigh ride. If you have ski clothes wear them. Remember, since you won’t be exerting yourself physically, you’ll get cold faster (especially your feet). So a few tips: wear a warm jacket, snow pants, face protector, hat, mittens and don't forget about your feet. Insulated boots are the best with warm socks. We do provide lap blankets but you are very welcome to bring extras.
Our teams of Belgian Draft Horses are gentle giants that are strong and friendly. They also enjoy having their picture taken or just getting a pat.
Experience an old fashioned sleigh ride through 140+ acres of meadows and woodland in Harrison, Maine. Call for your private Sleigh Ride appointment with The Winslow Family at 207-595-1601
