Spend time with the gentle draft horses who live at Draft Gratitude during a relaxed, family-friendly Visiting Day. Stroll the farm, meet senior horses, ask questions, and learn what life can look like after years of work. The pace is unhurried with no set schedule, creating space to connect, learn, and simply enjoy being around these remarkable animals. Expect time in the barn and near the paddocks, casual Q&A with the team about each horse’s care and background, and a simple activity or seasonal touch. BarnFinds, the small onsite shop, offers horse-themed items, and there is an opportunity to contribute spare change to support the horses. Open to all ages. Visitors are encouraged to bring curiosity and kindness, and to dress for the weather. Those wishing to bring feed can choose Blue Seal Active Senior grain in the red bag and Blue Seal Hay Stretcher, along with common horse treats used for training.
