GENTLE GIANTS HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE & SLEIGH RIDES

Meet our Gentle Giants, Justin, Mack, Jack, Donny, and Tom. The largest Justin weighs 2200 pounds! These gentle Percheron and Belgian draft horses will take you on an unforgettable journey back in time.

Choose one of five vehicles with beautiful old fashioned spindled wheels. Enjoy a ride in our new Elegant Victorian or Surrey Carriages, both for romantic couples rides! Our beautiful Vis-A-Vis four passenger carriage, white with luxurious red seats. This is a great wedding carriage! All carriages have convertible tops in case of light rain. If a wagon ride is what you're looking for, we offer two candy apple red 6 passenger and 12 passenger wagons for families and groups.

Our scenic ride begins through a charming covered bridge onto a winding wooded trail along an open brook, then out into a meadow trail with spectacular views of Mt. Mansfield-Vermont's highest peak. We will then make our way back to trail's end. You will have experienced a part of Vermont's past, a pleasurable memory that will last forever!
