Meet and Greet

Horses don't judge you.. 

They listen with their hearts..

Horses have a soothing influence on the mind and spirit.  Our Meet & Greets are designed to be a safe and encouraging space for you in your horse journey. We are here to support and cheer you on every step of the way! ❤︎ The rescues on our ranch are very gentle and love to share their story and healing with others.

Join us for a fun and flexible session with our friendly horses! 🐴🥰

These sessions are perfect for new or nervous riders, or anyone who just wants to spend time with our horses. We start by introducing you to our horse, where you can pet, groom, and lead them, creating a bond with your equine companion. ♥ Once everyone feels comfortable, we'll go for a short, hand led tour around our barn area, where you'll spot birds and meet more horses. You can choose to ride, but it’s not required. 🙂

After the tour, we finish by saying "thank you and goodbye" to our horse with a treat (and maybe a kiss or two!) and littles get to take a prize from our prize box to make their visit extra special.

For $30, you can meet one horse, or $60 for two. Each horse can meet up to three people of similar size. If an adult wants to ride also rather than just observe, they'll need to book a separate horse for themselves as they cannot fit in the same saddle as the little ones! 🙂 Please note that this is not a trail ride.​

 

Make a memorable experience and a new horse friend today! 🐴💕

Please make sure you have read and understood our rules and guidelines before you book. 

A little bit of magic can go a long way..

Did you know that we have 'unicorns' on our ranch? 🦄✨ No matter the age, make that moment extra special and request a unicorn for your session!

Please Be Kind

Our horses are rescues! Please be gentle and kind as they have graciously allowed us to ride them. 

Saftey First

We strongly recommend all riders wear ASTM/SEI-certified helmets for their safety. We advise you bring your own fitted helmet. If needed, we have certified helmets available in various sizes.

Our guides work very hard to make your horse experience safe and enjoyable. 

Please consider letting our guides know that you appreciate them!

Appointment Only

All of our experiences must be booked in advanced.  Our calendar fills quickly, so be sure to plan ahead!
