Took a sleigh ride for 6 and we had a great time, we got to watch the horses being prepared and were given a brief history of the centre, we were then wrapped up in heavy blankets and off we went, the trip lasted about 45 minutes and we went through some lovely countryside, it was freezing cold but the blankets kept us warm and even the youngsters enjoyed themselves, we even got a lift home after our taxi failed to arrive, would highly recommend
