STE. ANNE'S FARM EQUINE ACTIVITIES
A relatively new addition to the Ste. Anne's Spa experience is Ste. Anne's Farm. It is home to 10 domestic horses, 3 Percheron carriage horses and a number of beef steers. As a guest of Ste. Anne's Spa, we encourage you to enjoy the farm facility in whichever way best suits you. Read below for options.

Grooming Time | by appointment only | 45 - 60 minutes | year round | $45
Are you feeling like a little one-on-one with an equine? Book some grooming time with Karey White and one of the horses at Ste. Anne's Farms. Karey White* will help you to catch your horse in the field, secure him in cross-ties, groom the horse - including brushing the coat and mane,
massaging any of the sore muscles, picking their feet, braiding their tail (if time permits).


Morning Muck | 7:30 am - 8:30 am every day | Currently Not Available

Join our Stable Caretaker, Karey White* for the morning chores at Ste. Anne's Farms. Make sure you bring appropriate footwear (rubber boots or an old pair of runners) and a pair of gloves. Chores include feeding (the horses and cows), turning out the horses, cleaning the stalls, sweeping, bringing in the outside horses to feed, and getting the barn ready for afternoon chores.

Evening Turn In | NEW TIME: 5:00 - 6:00 pm
Join our Stable Caretaker, Karey White* for evening turn in at Ste. Anne's Farms. Chores include turning out any horses that may be in the barn, making sure the barn is ready for animals to be brought in for the night, picking the stalls, filling water buckets, bringing in the horses, feeding the cows, sweeping, and general clean up.

To avoid disappointment, we recommend booking horse programs with your reservations agent prior to arrival.
