This is a first-come, first-served opportunity and a popular holiday attraction, so grab a warm beverage, dress warm, and be patiently prepared to wait in line outdoors. 

For the health and welfare of the horses, there is a 2 1/2 hour limit on their workday, so rides will end at 4:30 PM regardless of the number of patrons waiting in line at that time. Make your decision to wait accordingly, so you are not disappointed.
