Mother's Day Hug-a-Horse

  • US Horse Welfare and Rescue (map)

Celebrate Mom and bring the whole family to our rescue sanctuary.

Come experience the healing power of horses at our Hug-A-Horse event—a unique opportunity to slow down, connect, and feel the joy of being up close with these incredible animals.

At Hug-A-Horse, guests of all ages are invited to meet our rescued horses in a safe, peaceful, and welcoming environment. Whether you’re brushing a gentle gelding, feeding treats to a curious mare, or wrapping your arms around a wise old draft horse, you’ll feel the magic that happens when horses and humans connect.

This isn’t just a photo-op—it’s a meaningful moment. Many of our horses were rescued from neglect, slaughter pipelines, or abandonment. Today, they serve as ambassadors of hope, kindness, and second chances.

Visitors can expect:

  • Guided, hands-on time with our rescue horses

  • Grooming stations and horse “hug zones”

  • Educational displays about wild horses and horse rescue

  • A bake sale, raffle, and fun activities for kids

  • Opportunities to sponsor a horse or a program for underprivileged youth

  • Beautiful open spaces, fresh air, and a true sense of community

Every Hug-A-Horse event helps raise funds to care for our sanctuary horses and support inclusive programs for veterans, neurodivergent youth, and individuals facing mental health challenges.

Come for the hugs. Leave with hope in your heart.
