FAQ's What is the difference between a Hug & Groom and a Free Rein Tour? At a Hug & Groom you and your guests will learn something amazing! All of our event participants come into the Free Rein pasture to spend time grooming, touching, and interacting with Free Rein’s rescued horses. Our volunteers are trained to help and support you while interacting with the rescued horses. On a Free Rein Tour, you experience horses and nature in an immersive experience. As our guests, you are guided by a Free Rein docent into and around the pasture to meet the herd of rescued horses, learn about them and the therapy they provide; then mosey through the Huntington Central Park Equestrian Center to see and hear about the stables and its equestrian residents; then take a walkabout in the neighboring Urban Forest to discover the spectacular, growing habitat that nurtures native species and migratory birds. 2. Hug & Groom groups are limited to 20-50 people, with reservations on a first-come, first-served basis. Free Rein Tour sizes range from 1 to 10 people. 3. Both of these offerings are intimate, immersive encounters that support the Free Rein Foundation’s rescue and healing mission. How long is each event? 1. A Hug & Groom event occurs the first Sunday of the month from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. 2. Free Rein Tours are scheduled throughout the month at agreed-upon (day) times and range from 90 minutes to two hours. What else can I expect at each? Both the Hug & Grooms and Free Rein Tours provide unique opportunities for people of all ages to enjoy nature, discover more about horses, and better understand the impact of these magnificent mammals on humankind. Why is there a cost to attend the Hug & Grooms and Tours? 1. The rescued horses of Free Rein Foundation are cared for, fed, and trained for Equine-Assisted Therapy with 100% volunteer help and donations. We are fortunate to have many local vendors and care providers who offer their goods and services as a donation, but we still incur many costs to care for these majestic and powerful animals. You can be assured that 100% of your donations goes to these rescued horses. Are there other ways to help the Free Rein Foundation Horses?
