It is best to come in pants with socks and a heeled shoe if possible.

Special Horse Experiences

Special horse experiences other than horseback riding, are at variable prices that will be set depending on what you are needing. For example, horses will be bathed for photo shoots and grounds may need last minute manure scooping and cleanup that will add to the cost. Pictures can be taken with a horse and cart or with individual horses or a group.

I have read that the horse aura interacts with the human aura in a beneficial way. It is beneficial just to be around a horse. Special horse experiences of interaction are also available.
