Odin-Sidewinder
Our resident Medicine Horse, Odin-Sidewinder assists a participant up out of her wheel chair as she wraps her arms around his neck. Read more about this amazing horse in "The Horses" section.
Horse Painting
Participants enjoy painting their handprints or other designs on the side of a horse with non-toxic tempura paints and the horse loves the attention!
Nova suffered a fractured leg and loves the attention.
Oracle also suffered a broken leg and enjoys the kids.
Horse Hugs
Horse Hugs
Horse hugs are one of the first things participants experience at Wild Horse Haven. They wrap one arm around the horses neck from underneath, place these head against the horses neck and the other hand over his heart. This is held for a minute while the participant feels a connecting bond with the horse, often there is crying involved.
Donkey Hugs
Donkeys need love to, Kids love hugging on the donkeys
Horse Hug
Connecting with a horse.
Donkey Love
Donkey Connections
Another popular activity at the ranch is connecting with the donkeys. Donkeys and kids love the attention, just don't try to hand feed the donkeys, fingers look like tasty carrots!
Smart Donkeys
Donkeys have an exceptional memory and are very adept at problem solving. A 2013 study showed that donkeys can learn and problem solve at the same rate as dolphins and dogs. Donkeys develop strong emotional bonds with their friends, they will remember and recognize animals or humans for years.
Protect and Support Donkeys
Donkeys have been much abused by humans. We must make efforts to protect and support them. They are wonderful loving creatures.
