    An old-fashioned sleigh with seating for 4 and cozy blankets; a valiant steed adorned in jingle…read morebells; an elegant coachman with top hat and collared overcoat; magical snow flakes and the silence of a snow-covered landscape...these are the makings of an amazing winter sleigh-ride outing with the lovely people at Heberle Stables! I've been wanting to go on a sleigh ride for years, ever since the first time I saw a horse-drawn sleigh in Ellison while xc skiing there. But our fluky winters have made it hard to plan for a weekend with enough snow for the sleigh; when there's not enough snow, you can take a carriage ride, which is just like a sleigh but with wheels. But we really wanted to experience the sleigh. So, over this past weekend, my hubby and I, and another couple friends, finally did it, and it was everything we had hoped for - tons of snow on the ground which made the sleigh ride possible, gently falling flakes which made the experience magical, and the kindness and friendliness of the family that owns the stables, taking care of everything including a bonfire for warming up before and after, and a cocoa station. Heberle (pronounced 'heh-ber-lee') stables are a family run operation. They have numerous horses, an indoor riding ring for winter riding, and sleighs and carriages for Ellison park trips. The family has been working on this piece of land bordering Ellison Park (right at the corner of Browncroft and Landing Roads) for over 100 years. They love what they do and you can tell because every generation is involved and they all seemed genuinely enthusiastic to share their horses and history with us. On the day of our ride, we showed up a few minutes early and parked. Got out and went to the bonfire and started chatting with the patriarch (Bill?) and owner, who was friendly, funny, and full of great historic information about the stables, which allowed our waiting time to pass really quickly. When our sleigh arrived, the seats were brushed clear of snow and we were seated with us facing our friends (so no one has to face the backs of the other's heads), and then Bill put some heavy blankets on us (it was 17F and we had also brought our own blankets but their's were fine.) Our coachman, Jake, one of Bill's sons, was elegantly attired and gave us instructions, explained about the horse pulling our sleigh (named Buddy), and was generally friendly and conversational answering all our questions. The ride went so fast - they are only 30 min - and then we were deposited back by the bonfire where we had been picked up. In all we were there over an hour, between the ride and the conversation, and we all agreed this is the kind of thing we'd love to do every winter! I can highly recommend this place and experience, and I encourage you to check their web page and sign up online. They have 2 horses/2 sleighs and they each do 7 trips per day, so there are lots of options. My only advice would be to watch the weather and if you can get lucky with a snowy day, that's the best!

    I am very disappointed with my experience with Heberle Stables and the lack of communication from…read moreHeather Heberle. I first contacted Heather in January 2026 by leaving a phone message and completing the online contact form, which included my name, address, phone number, and email address. I had planned to use the $200 gift certificate from Heberle Stables for my grandson's birthday in January, but I was unable to make arrangements because I never received a response. I followed up again in April and June, leaving additional phone messages. In July, I left one final message explaining that if riding lessons could not be arranged, I would appreciate a refund for the value of the gift certificate. The Heberle Stables website states that gift certificates never expire. I also asked for confirmation that Heberle Stables is still in business. Unfortunately, I have received no response to any of my messages or inquiries since January. I understand that businesses can become busy or circumstances can change, but completely failing to respond to a customer over a period of several months--especially regarding a $200 gift certificate--is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I would simply like a response and a resolution regarding the unused gift certificate.
