Join us for a walking tour Rosemary Farm Sanctuary! Learn about the work we do and meet the horses (and other equines) living here.

Experience the magic of our rescue herds and mountain paradise with a 90-minute guided walking tour! You will participate in an easy walking tour, where you will meet many of the nearly 100 horses who call Rosemary Farm home. You will learn about our operations, the history of the land and the animals who reside here. Guest will be led around the property, in and alongside a number of fields and paddocks, observing our herds and meeting horses. Your guide will share stories and history of the horses, and questions and discussion are welcome.

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 rescued work horses, and many are special needs. Be sure to tell us if you have a favorite, so we can point them out and make an introduction!

We follow approved procedures to keep visitors and staff safe and healthy. Please see full details below.
