Details
The shortest mushing experience that we offer is around the boundary of our land.
Whilst most people choose to mush themselves, it is also possible to ask for someone to guide your sleigh so that even if you are more hesitant you can still experience the thrill of mushing.
The 2km loop itself takes only c.10mins (depending on the snow conditions, the choice of dogs and whether or not we decide to challenge the dogs with some alternative route options, or not).
The rest of the time is spent on a comprehensive farm tour which might also include building your own team and putting them back to their own kennels - particularly if you have booked last minute - although we will tend to do this for you in advance if you have a lot of children in the group.
Price Includes
A comprehensive farm tour, sleigh driving instructions and a 2km taster safari.
