The Equine Forest Experience is unique because guests get to interact up close and personal with a herd of horses and donkeys living at liberty, moving naturally in their own space. Unlike a typical horse ride or farm visit, participants are immersed in the herd, observing and connecting with the animals’ authentic behaviors. The day continues with a guided forest hike and ends at a cozy campfire, creating a complete nature- and animal-based experience that is grounding, restorative, and unlike any ordinary outdoor activity.
