Free rein
othing says winter merriment like a ride down the snowy streets of the city in a horse-drawn carriage that jingles and clicks along the pavement while you used her equine passion to create as the lead driver for Denver’s Fairytale Carriage Company. Vanderwerken works out of her Brighton farm, located just east of I-25, where she welcomes visitors of all ages for countryside carriage rides drawn by her rescue horses. After the ride, guests can interact with other farm animals at Vanderwerken’s petting zoo, and even take a photo with her zebra-horse hybrid, known as a zorse.
