Item Description
Enjoy a two-hour experience with Norwegian Fjord Horses, a unique breed of gentle horses, while learning the basics of pleasure driving a horse and cart. Selectively bred for more than 20 centuries, Norwegian Fjord Horses might best be described as short and stocky, friendly and versatile. Whether pulling boats along Scandinavia’s fjords, working in farm fields, or pulling a cart to market, fjord horses were important partners for generations of farmers. Lessons begin in an outdoor arena and progress to beautiful trails through the quiet woods above Grand Marais. This experience is open to all, including those who would prefer simply to relax and take a pleasure drive with a team of fjord horses driven by the instructor.
Philis has owned and trained horses since the 1970s. The Norwegian Fjord horse has been her horse of choice in recent years because of its intelligence and gentle nature. Philis and her horses enter pleasure driving competitions and shows, and her horses have received high evaluations in the Norwegian system of confirmation and work discipline.
Item Special Note
Up to three additional family members or friends are welcome to share in the cart/wagon ride pulled by these gentle giants, for an additional $25 per person. Available most days May 15 to October 15, weather permitting.
