Book a Private Friends & Family Tour

A private tour for up to eight friends & family.

Experience the magic of our rescue herds and mountain paradise with a private 90-minute guided walking tour around the property, in and alongside a number of fields and paddocks, observing our herds and meeting some of the nearly 100 horses at home at Rosemary Farm.

On a private tour, there is flexibility to customize your experience to your tempo and interests. A private tour is also a good option for seniors or limited mobility friends who may prefer to spend time in just one barn enjoying a single group of horses with less walking. Please share any special needs or requests!

During your visit, you will see horses living in dynamic, free-running groups, as nature intended. Some of the horses are wild mustangs, others are retired, rescued work horses, and many are special needs. If you have a favorite, be sure to tell us so we can point them out and make an introduction!
