A sleigh is a type of vehicle designed for traveling over snow and ice. It typically has runners instead of wheels, allowing it to glide smoothly on winter surfaces. Sleighs can be pulled by animals, such as horses or dogs, and are often associated with winter activities and festive traditions. Sleighs come in various styles, from simple wooden designs to more elaborate versions used for Santa Claus in holiday stories. They are commonly used for recreational purposes, such as sledding or tobogganing, and can also serve practical functions in snowy regions for transporting goods or people.
