Travel Michigan: Step Back in Time in a Horse-drawn Mackinac Island Carriage
‘Downtown,’ essentially Main and Market Streets, Mackinac looks like the film set of a wild west movie but with draft horses pulling multi-seat carts (the $5 shuttle from the ferry terminal to hotels) and no gun-wielding cowboys.

Amelia Island, Florida: The Great Horse Trilogy – Beach, Carriage and Boat Tours
Amelia Island is the Florida of days gone by – summer homes along the shore, beaches lined with boardwalks and independent restaurants serving up locally-caught grilled shrimp, seafood chowder and fish tacos you take outside and eat at picnic tables under a canopy.

It’s not the kind of place I thought I’d have three different equine experiences.
