I'm happy to announce two new color changes to start off our week.
Twilight Sparkle and
PollyannaMom have both reached at least 75% of goal and
Racking Pink!
And our team is only 582 minutes away from 90% of goal. We can do that, right?!
The best place to see horses at WDW is at Tri-Circle D Ranch at Fort Wilderness Resort. They offer pony, trail, carriage, and wagon rides, and during the holidays, they even offer "sleigh" rides. Or you can just explore the facilities, see the horses, and watch the blacksmith/farrier at work. Complimentary 30 minute guided tours are offered at specific times.
Here's a very brief look at Tri Circle D Ranch:
This video gives you a tour of the barn (the design is fantastic and the place is so clean!) and an up close look at some of the draft horses. At times, you can hear a bit of the horse museum's recordings playing in the background:
And here's a longer, much more in-depth lesson on the care and keeping and the work of the horses at the ranch. You'll also meet one of the horses used for the Headless Horseman event at Fort Wilderness:
If I were a horse, I would definitely want to be a Disney horse! Also, I think I just found my dream job. Sadly, I don't live in Orlando.
I don't know about you guys, but a stay at Fort Wilderness and a day set aside for taking advantage of the resort offerings is now on my bucket list.
