On the first Sunday of each month, we hold our popular “Hug & Groom” event for the public to meet our herd of rescued horses and goats. It’s a fun afternoon of learning about horses and supporting Free Rein’s mission to rescue horses and help at-promise youth thrive. Each event can only accommodate a limited number of people so please purchase your tickets in advance.
When you attend our Hug & Groom events, you’re supporting our mission to rescue horses and provide equine-assisted therapy to at-promise youth! Proceeds from the event are used to purchase horse feed. Thank you for your support! ❤️
