Thanks everyone for being so kind!
We were the first family to participate in the SSR Carriage Ride! Since I had to book thru the FW Kennel, I thought it was going to be more of a hayride style wagon ride!
We showed up very unkempt after a day of hanging at the resort and Community Hall with our refillable mugs filled with cocoa!
(beverages are allowed and our mugs were welcome)
It was myself, Dh, 2 Ds's and Dn. There was plenty of room for us and the blankets were really nice. It was $35 which I thought was great for a family ride that didnt involve pedalling!
As for the mess, the horses wear a inconspicuous sack on their rear. I also spotted the driver get out (not on our ride but the next family) and sweep up when the horse coughed.
One thing that is not allowed, is petting. You may want to prepare your younger ones for this if they are horse crazy. Mine were not terribly disappointed and they really enjoyed the ride.
Yes, Fritz's hair was bouncing and behaving!! LOL! They should open a salon at the stables! LOL!
SSR is a Resort lover's dream! We had a great time there, and we are a family that spends minimal time in the parks. (2 park days out of 16) We really took advantage of what the resort has to offer and the Carriage Ride is a great addition! The Rec staff was very excited to bring the members this and I hope it finds enough interest to become a permanent fixture. It was really neat and the ride itself was beautiful with all the lakes, fountains and water fowl as a backdrop.
It tells me "server not found"
