ON THE TOUR This is a drop-off tour. Guests will be escorted to their enclosure where they’ll remain for the experience.
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 seated in an enclosure with our herd of donkeys, next to our draft field! You'll be able to visit with all the equines who come up to you on all sides. You’ll have snacks to feed them, along with pre-selected catered lite bites for you and your guests. This is not a tour, it’s a private experience in an enclosure with some of our rescue/sanctuary herd. In inclement weather, horses will be moved inside stalls in the barn. This experience is suitable for all ages and photos and videos are encouraged! Please tag us on social media! We are an active working horse farm, so closed toed shoes are advised. We operate rain or shine, so please dress accordingly. Note: We will not operate tours if lightning is present. Please note, all walkways are gravel and may not be wheelchair friendly so access may be limited. Please let us know any requests for accommodation. ABOUT BRAVEHEARTS EQUINE CENTER BraveHearts Equine Center is located in Paris, Kentucky. Owners David and Ruth Waronker founded the nonprofit after realizing there was a need for more support systems for draft horses from abuse, slaughter, and neglect. We are primarily a draft horse rescue, the largest in the state. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome younger equines and provide a sanctuary for the senior animals or those who may need specialized care for the rest of their lives. BraveHearts is predominantly funded by donations from our supporters. Those who donate help us provide essential care to our over 100 horses and burros in need. Every dollar goes to feeding and maintaining our horses, including vet and farrier visits. It also helps us continue to save more!
