Clip clop. Clip clop. There’s just something so relaxing about the sound of a horse’s hooves as they hit the pavement. The rhythm’s almost certain to create a feeling of tranquility that washes over us. Climb aboard a horse drawn carriage ride through Pittsburgh for a picturesque tour of Station Square or Downtown and for a bit of sheer relaxation.
