When weather conditions permit it. If its too wet, he wont ride as there's too much of a chance of the horse to slip and both get injured.

Yes, but it is now a very slow trot through the park due to the fall a few years back.

That video is painful to watch!

I love the slower ride. That gives me a better chance to get some better focused pics and a variety of shots. The ride through once was too quick and he passed by too fast. The first MNSSHP I attended, that I waited all year for, the Headless Horsemans ride went by in a blur and I missed my chance to get some good pics.

Yup - we SAW that . Given the weather around Halloween? RUNNING, full tilt with flashing steel shod hoofs, on wet pavement? It was lovely - but VERY dangerous for the poor horse .

I remember YEARS ago, like 2002, seeing the horse at full sprint. It was so cool.

I can for sure confirm it's a slow to moderate trot, and an occasional pause or spin here and there, that's how it was last year.

I did love the fast sprint, it was much more dramatic. But the slower trot with an occasional gallop does give you a better look.

You also can do a meet and greet with him at Fort Wilderness where you watch The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and when it's over the screen rises and he's behind it and you can go up for a photo op. There's also a dessert party attached to it as well. Seating is very limited but if you're a big Sleepy Hollow fan it's a really cool thing to do. We will be doing it next week actually.

That’s sounds great! Thanks for the heads up!

Pun intended.

No problem. It books up pretty quickly but maybe next year you can do it if they still offer that event. I really can't wait!
