Winter in Ontario offers an incredible opportunity to slow down and enjoy the season in a way that feels both timeless and magical. One of the best ways to embrace the winter wonderland is with a classic horse-drawn sleigh ride. Imagine gliding through snow-covered trails, surrounded by towering trees and crisp air, as a team of powerful horses pulls your sleigh through the landscape.
Whether you're celebrating the holidays with family or looking for a peaceful escape into nature, these sleigh rides offer a unique way to experience the beauty of the season. Perfect for anyone looking to create lasting memories, a winter sleigh ride in Ontario is an unforgettable way to experience the magic of snow season. Embark on a private family adventure at Back of Beyond Equine Centre in Huntsville, where you'll meet the resident horses and ponies and hear their unique stories.
Then, cozy up under blankets in a classic red sleigh and glide through a magical winter wonderland along private woodland trails. Finish your sleigh ride by a crackling campfire, warming up with hot chocolate and marshmallows. The sleigh ride lasts about 35 minutes, with the full experience taking approximately 1 hour.
Pets are welcome! Ride in a two-horse open sleigh (complete with sleigh bells!) at Evergreen Hill Farm in Port Dover. The farm’s Belgian horses will pull you along the snow-covered trails, as you sit all nestled and warm beneath a cozy blanket and atop a bale of hay. You’ll cover a lot of ground.
