Sleigh bells will jing-a-ling through Victoria streets this holiday season as a horse-drawn carriage company hitches up an authentic sleigh to one of their draft horses.
With a serious lack of the white stuff necessary for a true sleigh ride, Tally-Ho Carriage Tours has modified a traditional sleigh from IndianaBԪַs Nappanee Amish country, to include an inconspicuous wheeled undercarriage, complete with electric brakes for safety.
BԪַThis unique design means that, even without snow, Victorians can now enjoy an experience that many of us have, until now, only dreamt of,BԪַ said owner Donna Friedlander.
The new horse-drawn sleigh attraction will operate in Victoria during the month of December, as part of Tally HoBԪַs 115th anniversary celebration.

The ornate single-horse drawn sleigh was designed with meticulous attention to detail by Mennonite master carriage maker Leroy Martin.
The carriage has plush seats and warm blankets for the leisurely tour through some of VictoriaBԪַs most scenic neighbours, passing seasonally-decorated homes.
