Every time you turn on the radio in the month of December, you’re bound to hear Christmas songs on the air. Those merry melodies are bound to get you in the mood for some festive activities. If Jingle Bells starts playing, you’ll likely start dreaming of a horse-drawn sleigh ride. In Connecticut, it’s not just a wintertime dream, you actually can go dashing through the snow.
The quintessential New England winter is often pictured on greeting cards with an antique horse-drawn sleigh gliding through the snow. At Allegra Farm in East Haddam, the picture perfect scene becomes a reality.
Enjoy the "Jingle Bells" experience to the fullest as the runners fly across the winter snow. The ride will take you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and into a nostalgic old-fashioned time.
Bundle up against the winter chill and bring your own refreshments to warm you from the inside out. Take a ride as a romantic excursion or a fun-filled family trip.
Allegra Farm also provides a variety of carriage rides. The farm is home to the Horse Drawn Carriage and Sleigh Museum of New England with a huge variety of authentic carriages from the olden days.
You've probably seen these carriages from Connecticut in the movies and on TV. The carriages in "Amistad", "Kate and Leopold", and "Sex In The City" have come from this very farm.
Sleigh rides are only available when there is snow on the ground. Keep an eye on the weather and the next time we get fresh powder, plan your entrancing horse-drawn sleigh ride.
Visit Allegra Farm by appointment in East Haddam. Sleigh rides can accomodate 4 to 6 people and last for an hour as you glide over the river and through the woods.
