Since Mackinac Island has no vehicles, horses are now of the primary means of
transportation besides bicycles.
They all seem to be well cared for.
When the Summer heat gets too hot, they are given more breaks and less rounds for the day.
Some carriages only require one horse, or two horses.
These people movers though required three horses!
You could slowly navigate the island and listen to the history stories.
They all seem to be laid back.
Even the Grand Hotel's topiary was in the horse and buggy island theme!
If you're lucky enough to spend a night at the Grand Hotel this is your taxi from the port
up to the hotel and back again.
Pretty classy!
Besides walking and biking getting around with these lovely horses make for a
charming time!
