Safety First

Ensuring a safe and enjoyable visit is our top priority. Before interacting with the horses, we ask all guests to adhere to essential safety precautions. Please wear closed-toe footwear and long pants to protect against any accidental nicks or scratches. Our trained volunteers will provide a brief orientation on how to approach and handle the horses safely. We also request that you follow all instructions and remain calm around the animals to avoid startling them. By respecting these guidelines, you help create a secure environment that allows everyone to enjoy their time at EASE.
