Grindstone Stables

My son took me on a sleigh ride this past Friday night. This is a family run business. Everyone was so informative, and congenial. They have a stable of 6 pair of draft horse. Our team was Blitzen, and Donner. Prior to seeing the team I was concerned about what horses condition would be coming from ranching back ground. These beautiful animals are well love. The night was beautiful, weather wasn't to cold, and no wind. We were provided with warm lap blankets. Great night for me, it's definitely a do over.

I have ridden for 20+ years and was a trail guide back in Florida, and I would trust any of these horses again with my life and my time. I rode a lovely gelding named Flower, and my husband (he is 6ft, 225 pounds) rode John Wayne. They were both brave and surefooted. I never felt like they would trip or act out, and I could not stop telling Flower how amazing and beautiful he was.
