Looking for something fun, festive, and family-friendly to do on New Year’s Eve?Great news — Shelby Ranch is OPEN on New Year's Eve for one of our most magical winter experiences: the Sleigh Ride of Lights ✨🐴
❄️ What Is the Sleigh Ride of Lights?
Our Sleigh Ride of Lights is a guided ride through the ranch aboard a horse-drawn sleigh — or a wagon if Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate with enough snow. Either way, the experience is just as magical.
You’ll travel through the ranch surrounded by:
🌟 Twinkling Christmas and holiday lights
🐴 Our beautiful horses pulling you along
🔥 Cozy winter vibes and festive scenery
It’s peaceful, nostalgic, and feels like stepping into a winter storybook.
🎄 More Than Just a Ride
Your visit doesn’t stop when the sleigh (or wagon) ride ends. During the Sleigh Ride of Lights evenings, guests can enjoy:
🐐 Petting Pens – visit some of our favorite ranch animals
🐴 Pony Rides (indoors!)
🤠 Mechanical Bull rides for kids and adults
🛝 Indoor Playground – perfect for burning off energy
🔥 Bonfire vibes (weather permitting)
