A hayride is a pleasure ride in an open
truck, wagon or sleigh which has been decorated with hay or straw and similar farmlife paraphernalia. In modern times it is usually organized commercially and takes place at night.
Hayrides on
Halloween are often dubbed as 'haunted hayrides'. During Fall, in Colorado and Other Great Plain states, a hayride may feature a stop at a Pumpkin Patch where passengers can pick a
Pumpkin.
