Sleigh Ride

A sleigh is a horse-drawn vehicle mounted on runners for travel over snow or ice and pulled by one or more horses. Sleighs are used for winter transport, agricultural work, and pleasure. They were historically used in regions with long winters as a practical means of transport, and they remain culturally associated with winter travel and holiday traditions. Sleighs are distinct from sledges, which are typically a low heavy-duty load-hauling platform for pulling across all surfaces, not just snow and ice.
