Workshops
Connect with the Horses of Halifax through hands-on workshops! Each workshop will be one hour long for groups of up to 8 participants for adults and children ages 7 and older. Workshops are located in the stables and happen on the ground (no riding). Cost: $25 for children, $30 for adults
We are offering two workshops:
Learn to Groom - Experience the power of horses through touch, learn how to groom a horse, and become comfortable with a horse on the ground. This workshop is open to adults and youth (7+).
Learn to “Speak Horse” - Horses don’t verbally speak but they do communicate with us. Learn to “speak horse” and how to communicate with them by interacting with a horse on the ground in this hands-on workshop. This workshop is open to adults and youth (7+).

Bucket List Rides
Have you always dreamed of riding a horse but never had the chance? Our Bucket List Rides are specially designed for adults aged 65 and up who want to finally cross “ride a horse” off their bucket list. In a calm, supportive environment with gentle ponies and experienced handlers, we make that lifelong dream a safe and joyful reality. No experience needed—just bring your sense of adventure!
