What to expect

Travelers will be welcomed to Eat Sleep Ride and introduced to the horses in a calm, rural setting. The experience focuses on meeting and spending time with the horses on the ground, including supervised grooming, gentle handling, and learning about horse behaviour, care, and the individual stories of the horses.

The session is relaxed and hands-on, guided by the needs of the horses and the pace of the group. Depending on the day, travelers may also spend time walking around the gardens and meeting other animals on site, such as chickens.

This is a non-riding experience, designed as a gentle introduction to horses and suitable for people who want an ethical, ground-based animal experience.
