Back by popular demand for the 5th year in a row! Come meet our horses and walk the lighted trail. This is a dirt trail about a half-mile long that the horses use. We decorate it with lights and all kinds of decorations so people can walk the trail. We can’t wait to see you all there.

Hay Burr Inn Equine Rescue & Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. This is a donation-based fundraiser to help with the care and upkeep of the horses and donkey. There are NO tickets to purchase in advance to enter the event. Your DONATIONS are greatly appreciated for us to continue to rescue equines and give them a second chance to enjoy life and just be a horse.

Our equines are older, injured, or retired horses that were either owner surrenders or rescued from the kill pen; these are not riding horses. They are so wonderful and love attention. You can read about our rescues here on the sanctuary: https://www.hayburrinn.org/horse-profiles/.

Please adhere to COVID regulations that are in effect at the time of the event.
