So my husband and I are horsey people and are looking forward to enjoying all the Disney horses. Since it seems that there are lots of others looking for the same types of experiences I am going to start gathering a list of info of how to incorporate horses into your Disney World vacation.
- Trail riding - Pony Rides
- https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/recreation/tri-circle-d-ranch/
- This is the one that most appeals to us. Its a 45 min trail ride through the Fort Wilderness area (no exactly sure of where it takes you). Some of horses used in the trail rides are also some of the horses used by the princesses in the parades. I saw some post about the trail guides telling riders which princess normally rides the horses in the parades. Additionally I saw some pictures of Cinderellas's White ponies being used for pony rides. So the horses server multiple roles (which is common with working horses). Some of the carriage horses are also ridden in the trail rides. I would love to ride Maximus or Merida's horse. We'll have to wait and see how this works out.

- I am hopping to be able to fit this in as some point as it takes you through the campgrounds and we will be visiting during the Christmas holiday and hear that the campsites will be decorated and that would be neat to experience.
