A Two-horse Open Sleigh  Winter sleigh rides



Come join us for an unforgettable winter sleigh ride through the scenic Vermont countryside. Snuggle up under warm blankets and glide through new-fallen snow. Our big Belgian brothers, Smoky and Bandit, will jingle their bells all the way to a cozy campfire set in the wintry woods. Once you're there, John and Letitia will treat you to steaming hot chocolate and all the fixin's for marshmallow s'mores. (Feel free to bring your own snack or a bottle of wine as well.) After visiting and warming up awhile, you'll return to the Ranch as darkness descends on the majestic landscape.

Ah, Vermont in winter No comment necessary

This wonderful trip into yesteryear will provide indelible memories for you and your friends or loved ones. To make sure that they're all happy memories, please dress for the Vermont weather. Warm, dry coats, hats, mittens, and especially boots are essential to comfort.

The sleigh ride lasts about an hour—a 15-minute ride to the campfire, a 30-minute break for complimentary hot chocolate and s'mores, and another 15-minute ride back to the ranch.

Donkey rides
Donkeys are cute at any age Donkeys are cute in black and white

Magic, Happy, Jazz, and Ginger are four of the most adorable donkeys and pony mules that you'll ever meet. They're so sweet and gentle that they'll make the perfect mount for your child. A ride on one of our long-eared friends will make your child grin with delight and create a lifelong memory for the whole family.

Donkeys and mules often have a bad reputation for being stubborn and ornery. John and Letitia love destroying this misconception. Donkeys and their kin are very friendly and curious. The Sisterses firmly believe that if the dog weren't already man's best friend, the donkey would be.
