Horses and autumn… Is there anything quite as magical and wholesome as these two things? While they are just fine on their own, it just so happens that they become even more enchanting when they are combined, which is demonstrated by this Colorado horse rescue and its adorable fall festival:
Welcome to the Next Step Horse Rescue and its annual Fall Festival!
Located in Calhan (Ellicot), the Next Step Horse Rescue's Fall Festival is one of the sanctuary's annual fundraisers and features tons of wholesome (and, dare we say, adorable?) fun for the entire family.
Taking place Saturday, October 15th, 2022, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Fall Festival fun begins with some of your favorite fall-time activities, including a pumpkin patch, vendors, food, and a costume contest.
In addition to these more standard festival events, the Fall Festival also offers one-of-a-kind encounters with animals a la a petting zoo, pony rides, and an up-close look at some of the Rescue's 4-legged residents.
While making memories is reason enough to visit, the Fall Festival also benefits the Next Step Horse Rescue, which offers a "safe place for horses to land to be rehabilitated and retrained then adopted into loving approved homes."
