Welcome to our Open House
A little housekeeping...
The journey begins
Barn Alley
Step into the barn and you’ll meet some of our smaller (and fluffier!) friends. The rabbits love to hop around their cozy corners here, and you might spot the pigeons fluttering about up above. At night, the goats snuggle in here to rest after a busy day of exploring. Normally, our mini horses call the barn home too, but today they’re out enjoying the sunshine in the small field. Take a peek around—you never know which furry or feathered friend you’ll meet!
Come by and say "Hi!"
Matilda
Matilda is our 8-year-old Drum Horse and one of the biggest personalities on the farm. She’s a total people-lover who enjoys being around visitors and showing off her goofy side. Her favorite hobbies include rolling in the dirt (think of it as her version of a spa day!) and occasionally testing out her “construction skills” on fences and gates.
Matilda is also a proud ambassador for kindness to animals. Alongside Canadian singer Jann Arden’s #horseshit campaign, she helps spread the message about protecting horses and treating them with the respect they deserve.
When you stop by, give her a friendly wave—Matilda loves making new friends!

Continue your journey
Paddocks
Out in the paddocks, you’ll find the horses who call our place home. Rain or shine, our alpaca, pigs, and cows will be here to greet you—sometimes they like the puddles as much as the sunshine! This is a great place to watch, learn, and discover fun facts about all the animals! For everyone’s safety, please check with one of our friendly volunteers before petting any of them. And don’t miss the fun—there’s face painting happening here too, so you can leave with a colorful new look as well as happy memories!
Mindful minis
Small Field
Today, the small field has been turned into a special stage just for our mini horses! These little stars are full of charm and love showing off for visitors. If you’re lucky and time your visit just right, you might see them doing something truly magical—mindful exercises where they use their senses to relax and connect with the world around them. It’s like a mini horse meditation session, and it’s amazing to watch! Take a moment, breathe deep, and enjoy the calm—they might even inspire you to find your own peaceful moment, too.
step inside, step inside!
Indoor Arena
Step inside our arena, a space normally used for riding and working with the animals—and it’s also where we head when the weather turns rainy. But today, it’s been transformed into a hub of fun! You’ll discover our mini gift shop filled with treasures to take home, plus a complimentary food and water station to keep you refreshed. Don’t miss the informational corner, where our friendly volunteers can tell you all about upcoming events and ways to get involved. And for a special treat, our amazing trainer from the Namastables Boot Camp is here—come say hello and learn what makes working with animals so inspiring!
thank you for your continued support
Namastables Foundation
We hope your time at Namastables has been full of smiles, wonder, and maybe even a little bit of magic. Our animals and team love sharing this space with you, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back for one of our programs, community events, or wellness services.
Everything you’ve seen today happens because of many caring hands—our amazing volunteers and the generosity of our donors. If you’d like to be part of our story and help us keep this work growing, we’d be so grateful.
