• A mini walking tour of our sanctuary to meet our beloved draft horse rescues and snap photos with them.
• Your evening of art and relaxation directly supports our nonprofit’s mission to give draft horses the second chance they deserve.

Have you ever wanted to see a Clydesdale, Belgian, or Percheron? Here’s your chance to meet draft horses up close and personal! You’ll be able to visit with many of our rescue horses on this tour and learn about their stories of rehabilitation and recovery. You will see transformations made possible through proper love and care from our dedicated team. Plus, hear wonderful success stories of horses who have gone on to find their forever families, or gone into a life of service. We also have a number of other breeds you can see — from donkeys to draft mules and mini’s, oh my!

Please note, we will be in the barn for the painting portion of the event, but the walking tour is outdoors. Please be sure to dress appropriately!
