Les chevaux au Walt Disney world resort

Before being domesticated by humans some 5 000 years ago, horses roamed the open plains of Eurasia and Africa. And unlike any other animal, horses have taken on an almost legendary status—playing an important role in human history and storytelling.

Today, Walt Disney World Resort is a horse lover’s paradise. You’ll see big, beautiful Percherons, Clydesdales and Belgians pulling the trolleys down Main Street, U.S.A.

And you’ll find even more breeds at Tri-Circle D Ranch at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Here you can saddle up for pony rides and trail rides. Or climb aboard a carriage ride or even a sleigh ride during the holiday season.

At Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside, you can settle back for a scenic carriage ride along the Sassagoula River.

And during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the Headless Horseman—riding our specially trained mount—is a highlight of Mickey's "Boo-To-You" Halloween Parade.

A Magical Home on the Range

Walt Disney’s personal passion for horses continues today at our theme parks and in Disney movies and shows.

  • Des soins de premier ordre
    Tous les chevaux et les poneys du Walt Disney World Resort bénéficient d’un régime équilibré, d’un bain quotidien, d’un toilettage, de soins dentaires, de vaccins, d’examens physiques complets réguliers et de nouveaux fers à cheval toutes les 5 à 6 semaines. Our dedicated team of animal care experts includes ranch hands, veterinarians, blacksmiths and nutritionists.

    Even the Main Street Trolley is constructed to be lightweight to ensure the safety of the draft horses that pull it.

  • Disney’s Horses “Give Back”
    Like many of the animals at Walt Disney World Resort, our horses provide free fertilizer! Their poop is turned into nutrient-rich compost, which the landscaping team uses to keep the Resort’s extensive gardens blooming beautifully.

  • Galloping onto the Silver Screen
    From Black Beauty to Secretariat, horses have played a major role in Disney film history. During any Disney television or film production that features horses, our Animals in Film & TV team collaborates with professional horse trainers, riders and stunt coordinators to ensure the safety and welfare of horses on the set. Horse and movie fans are invited to visit the lobby of Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to enjoy a pictorial history of horses in Disney films.
