The Bronx Zoo’s beloved Clydesdale horses Ranger, Jesse, and Monty have once again trotted into the spotlight to take guests on festive wagon rides, Saturdays & Sundays beginning Nov. 7. The Clydesdale—a high-stepping draft horse—is in its element when at work, whether in the field or at the head of a cart. At the zoo, they enjoy long walks with their keepers, being brushed, and the occasional sweet treat.

Clydesdale carriage rides operate from 11:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. Tickets cost $5 per person for ages 3 and over, and can be purchased at the Children’s Zoo ticket window. Rides pick up on Astor Court.
