Spend unhurried time at Draft Gratitude during a relaxed, family friendly Visiting Day focused on meeting the senior draft horses who live there. Walk the farm at your own pace, talk with the team, and learn what life looks like for these horses after many years of work. Possibilities for the day can include moments in the barn and around the paddocks, casual Q and A about care and individual stories, a simple activity or seasonal touch, browsing BarnFinds for horse themed treasures, and an easy way to drop spare change that helps the herd. This experience suits all ages. Curiosity and kindness are encouraged, and dressing for the weather is recommended. Those wishing to bring something for the horses can choose the feeds used on site, such as Blue Seal Active Senior in the red bag, Blue Seal Hay Stretcher, and typical horse treats used for training. Every visit helps provide food, medical care, and comfort for horses who have already given so much.
