Dashing Through the Snow!

Are you ready for some winter fun? Who can forget the iconic image of Santa Claus flying through the air in his sleigh, pulled by his trusty team of reindeer.

Native American tribes in the Northeast, such as the Iroquois, used sleighs and sleds for transportation during the winter months. These sleighs were often made from wooden frames with animal skins stretched over them for protection from the cold. In the Great Lakes region, Native American tribes such as the Ojibwe and Potawatomi used a type of sled called a "toboggan" for transportation and hunting. Toboggans were made from a single piece of wood bent into a semicircle and were used to haul goods and people over the snow.

As time went on, sleds began to be made from more durable materials like reinforced wood and metal. And in the 18th and 19th centuries, sleds started to be used for recreational purposes as well as transportation. This led to the development of different types of sleds for different activities, such as racing sleds and toboggans for sliding down hills.

One of the most famous uses of a sled in U.S. history was during the Revolutionary War when Henry Knox was tasked with transporting cannons from the recently captured Fort Ticonderoga. Moving the heavy artillery over 300 miles of difficult winter terrain using ox-drawn sleds, he contributed to the British retreat from Dorchester Heights and their eventual evacuation.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was common for Presidents to use sleighs as a means of transportation during the winter months.

Carriages, wagons, and sleighs from the remaining two carriage barns, Shelburne Museum, Vermont, USA. Featured are a Conestoga frontier wagon, several stagecoaches from New York and New England, and a school bus sleigh from 1910 used in rural Vermont.

Although it looks brown in the photo, the school bus sleigh is much redder in real life.

Collection of sleighs and carriages in the Round Barn can be seen here.

Keep an eye on the sky for the arrival of the Reindeer Days team!

I'm so happy you could join me in welcoming my friends from the north pole! We spend all four seasons getting ready for our Christmas Eve journey, which is my favorite flight of the year.

I love the night trips the best, because the stars don't sunburn my nose. But I still join any time there's long distance travel, because everyone has a gift they bring to help the whole team come together.

Some are fast, some are strong, some are smart, some caring, and some (like me) just really love geography! I plan our routes and navigate to make sure we reach every house on our list before the night is up. I hope you'll leave some carrots out for us on the roof!

See you tonight, and Merry Christmas!

#my art #oc #mendel #anthro #furry #dragon #bringing back his sleigh bells because they kinda slay (sleigh) #i will revisit this i think. there's more i wanted to do with it but i wanted something to post before I leave for the next week so here... #watched the fnaf movie the other day for friend birthday and it was INCREDIBLY stupid and silly and bad but still a fun time somehow #the tonal whiplash was bizarre and the characters were incomprehensible and the dialogue was ridiculous and unintentionally funny #it's so funny this took 8 years to do what were they DOIN!!!! it cannot have been polishing the script!!! #but the animatronics and set design were incredible. even if they stopped being scary very fast i loved the funny murderous animals #playing elastica connection and iggy pop wild child was a choice that was made #anyway truly wild. i played the first four games and that's it so i can hardly profess to be the target audience #illustration

Then he gives one flash

Of his glass-green eyes

And the signal goes "All Clear"

And we're off at last

For the northern part

Of the Northern Hemisphere

A couple weeks ago I visited the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont, USA, with a work friend. She took photos throughout the day. I don't own a camera of any kind, so I asked her to share with me the photos she took. Unfortunately I found her photos far from extensive regarding the sights the Museum has to offer, but they offer a good taste at least.

These are a selection of the carriages and sleighs on display in the Round Barn. The Round Barn is a three-story barn measuring 80 feet in diameter, built in 1901 in East Passumpsic, Vermont and moved to the Museum's premises sometime after its founding in 1947. There are roughly 20 carriages and sleighs housed in this barn, so this selection above is not exhaustive. My friend took no photos of the barn itself, but you can see what the barn looks like on this blog post: https://breezesatdawn.wordpress.com/2017/08/31/the-shelburne-museum-the-round-barn/

I am standing beside the Country Cutter in the second-to-last photo to give a scale of how small the cutter actually is. The whole thing is only around five feet long.

Collection of sleighs and carriages from the other two barns housing them can be seen here.
