Last winter my family and I had the pleasure of traveling to Aspen, CO. The primary focus of our trip was a couple of days on the slopes. That was fun! But it turned out the highlight of our visit was our sleigh ride! We had a full day on the slopes and were tired, but the sight of the beautifully appointed sleigh and majestic horses was too much to resist! The three of us climbed aboard, snuggled under the lush throws, and off we went! The driver was so polite and knowledgeable, but not overbearing. He answered our questions, but also let us ponder the majesty of the snow-covered landscape in quiet wonder. It was reminiscent of a Normal Rockwell scene. The experience can be described as nothing less than joyous!\r

Being an animal lover, I was curious about the horses. The driver told me that most of the horses are rescues! They are pampered and well cared for. Working for Aspen Carriage and Sleigh gives them the opportunity to live out there lives with the love, care, and dignity they deserve while doing a job they seem to enjoy.\r
