Winter Sleigh Ride at Spring Creek Ranch in Jackson Hole
If you hang out with horse lovers, you soon learn that our life revolves around horseback riding vacations. We can’t wait for our next horse fix. While some folks can’t wait to strap on ski boots and hit the ski slopes, equestrians reluctantly put away our riding gear and wait for horseback riding weather to return. Of course, there are plenty of things to do in the winter time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, but horseback riding vacations will have to wait until summer. Instead, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride at Spring Creek Ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Circle back to the ranch for a cup of hot chocolate at the Granary restaurant or sit by the stone fireplace and simply enjoy the view.

Wow! This is the kind of winter horseback riding vacation that I’d like to take.
I went on a trail ride at Jackson lake lodge in 2001 and 2002. I have my own horses but fell in love with a black draft cross gelding named decker. Decker was the most beautiful,sweet, horse I had ever seen. I had seen plenty! He had beautiful movement and the kindest nature. When I returned back east I traced where the lodge leased their horses and almost 9 years later I own decker and in spite of hardships and people who don’t understand, there is a bond that exists between horse and man, in this case, woman.
