Ann Miles, of The Carriage Barn in New Hampshire, sent this photo of the furry, adorable Barnum and Bailey. They are Belgian circus ponies that were given to The Carriage Barn’s driving program. Ann said that “someone had the brilliant idea of putting a pole on the front of a dogsled … the trick is to steer and not lose your balance.”

Next, Ann sent this video of the ponies pulling their dog sled.
Do you have any videos or photos to share of your wintertime driving activities? Feel free to send us your favorite, furriest, most beautiful, or most unusual turnouts.

reminds me of the winter I hooked my fjord to my son’s purple sled and drove around in the snow, I drove and my son behind me was in charge of braking. Really fun
