Morgan Sleigh & Wagon Rides

Highlights

Description

There’s something timeless about the sound of sleigh bells echoing through the crisp mountain air. At Thurston Farms in Morgan, Utah, the *Sleigh and Wagon Rides* invite you to slow down and savor winter the old-fashioned way. Family-owned for over a century, this working farm is home to generations of beautiful Clydesdales—bred, raised, and trained right on site. Your adventure begins just 25 miles from Ogden, where you’ll board a hand-built sleigh or wagon for a tranquil ride along the Weber River. As the horses pull you through snow-covered fields, you’ll feel transported to a simpler time. Warm blankets keep you cozy while the soft jingle of harness bells sets the rhythm of your journey. Your hosts, Becky and Todd, share stories about the farm’s 100-year history, their heritage of horse training, and the local wildlife that often greets guests along the way—bald eagles soaring overhead, deer grazing at the river’s edge, and wild turkeys strutting through the snow. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a romantic date, or a peaceful moment in nature, every sleigh ride ends with a sense of calm and connection to Utah’s rugged beauty. For those curious about the horses themselves, you can even book a lesson to learn the art of harnessing and driving the team—a hands-on experience few ever get to try. Come see why a ride through Morgan Valley feels like stepping into a living snow globe.
