sleigh

Horse-drawn snow transport

A sleigh is a vehicle on runners designed to travel over snow or ice, typically pulled by horses or reindeer.

The word evokes winter scenes—a one-horse open sleigh, Santa's flying sleigh.

To sleigh is to travel by sleigh, though the verb is rare.

We went sleighing through the countryside.
