Billy Boy, Taquito, and Arlo will once again be making an appearance in downtown Great Barrington! They’ll have their humans along with them, selling holiday gifts. Stop by and say hello!
We had such a fun time with this event last year, we are bringing it back early! Come join us for pony rides for children and adults alike ($10 per ride) in the dark on our beautiful horses decked out in lights. Enjoy our barn, chat with staff and others, find your holiday presents, drink hot chocolate, and have a great time.
Friday night, December 6 from 4:30 – 6:00
UPDATE 12/4: WE DID IT! 
Thanks to all of you – everyone in our community – we met, and then exceeded, our Giving Tuesday goal! We had wanted to raise $7,500 (the cost of horse care for the herd for one month). Instead, we raised $8,400 and with a matching grant of $7,500 (thanks to our amazing board members, who matched our donations dollar-for-dollar) our grand total is (drumroll please 
) $15,900.
We are so in awe of the support we receive from you, our friends near and far. It means the world to us and our horses 
Join the global Giving Tuesday movement and make this holiday season one of radical generosity to support our amazing, loving equines with their daily needs.

We will be offering our February Break program February 19 – 23rd. This program provides students with an educational outdoor experience where they can have fun, be physically active, develop a love for nature, and learn responsibility for animals. In addition to learning bareback riding, participants will assist with barn chores, learn how to catch, groom and tack a horse, and experience the magic of being in a herd of horses. Lunch will be around the fire pit. Children must bring their own snacks and lunch. The program runs 9:00 – 3:00 each day, with before and after care available. Sign up for one day or the whole week. Please email or call for more details.
From the first day that she came, Mystery has won everyone over with her sweet nature. Almost exactly a year after she was introduced to the whole herd, she had a lightbulb moment with her job in lessons and therapy. Practically overnight she became as solid and steady in her work as she is in her body. We had chosen her with the hope that she would take on some of the role Twist left behind and it’s wonderful to see her become the horse we hoped she would.
