Hang with the herd

Service Description

Forest bathing (shinrin-yoku) is a Japanese wellness technique in which we surround ourselves with nature and immerse our senses in the environment. It is an excellent place to become grounded and present. There are many well documented mental and physical health benefits. This is a supervised but unguided experience in nature. Your facilitator will show you to the forest and allow you to explore the area or choose a place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. Horses are free to interact with you up close or at a distance if they choose to. You may also choose to spend your forest bathing time just outside of their pasture so you can observe them from a distance if that's more comfortable for you. For a more active, physically challenging experience with horses, we recommend booking our Wild Horse Hiking. Book for free with any level membership or for non-members, we offer sliding scale pricing ranging from $15 per person to $75 per person, 100% of which goes directly to the care and maintenance of the horses: $15 buys us a bag of hay pellets $30 buys us a bag of feed $45 buys us a large bale of alfalfa hay $60 buys us one bag of Vermont Blend supplements $75 feedsForest bathing (shinrin-yoku) is a Japanese wellness technique in which we surround ourselves with nature and immerse our senses in the environment.
