Rest in Peace, Dear Friend…

Over the years, many of our guests have become attached to the gentle giant, Spike, who was a feature of our carriage and sleigh rides. Unfortunately, last month he fell ill and is now buried in his favorite spot in his field, overlooking his family and the mares. The girls will be carrying on in his stead, on a somewhat abbreviated schedule, and while they are a lovely pair, many a tear will be shed in memory of Spike (1990 – 2010).

Snow on its Way!

It’s always nice to wake up to a sugar coating on the world…like today! I’m hoping we have a winter FULL of snow, since I will be back on the ski slopes this season…thank you, husband AND insurance! This should work out for our guests, too, as our old-fashioned sleigh rides are SO popular! FYI: our days and hours of operation have changed, so PLEASE call us to confirm your sleigh ride! Also, the cookie tour is going on next weekend; even if you come last minute, for one day, don’t miss this SUPER fun holiday event! AND don’t forget to bring your ziplock baggies if you do…hope to see you here!
