ONLINE RSVP HERE!

The Mane Event is tradition here, an annual get-together where we have horsey-themed games and art projects for the kiddos in the barn, equine demonstrations for adults, and refreshments for everyone.

This year, we’re going to decorate ornaments for each child to take home, plus decorate some for a special tree for the horses—wooden horseshoes, carrots, and more! Demonstration at noon! There’s also news that a few “reindeer” might show up!

Just come to the farm and be ready for fun. Our address is: 7041 Meadows Town Road…..about five miles west of Marshall, 28753. You can come via Weaverville to Marshall and then onto the farm, or you can take the New Leicester Highway from Patton Ave. in Asheville. GPS doesn’t always cooperate here in the countryside, but you can check our Heart of Horse Sense website for specific directions:   https://www.heartofhorsesense.org/directions
