This Illinois Sleigh Ride Takes You Through A Winter Wonderland

Some holiday traditions seem to have faded over time. Hardly anyone roasts chestnuts on an open fire. The kids dream of new phones and video games, not sugar plums. Most of us would need to turn to Google to understand the phrase “bells on bobtails ring” even though we’ve been singing Jingle Bells our whole lives. Illinois, thankfully, is keeping one of the winter season’s staples alive: the sleigh ride.

While there are many places in the state where you can go dashing through the snow, Forest View Farms has been hosting sleigh rides for decades and are experts in equestrian adventures. This winter wonderland is the perfect place to remind yourself that cheerful traditions haven’t all become ghosts of Christmas past while you and your loved ones have a holiday blast.
