A cool breeze moves through the pines as you step off the gravel drive and into a sun-dappled pasture. Horses and donkeys lift their heads, curious but unhurried, moving at liberty across gentle knolls. You walk among them—no saddles, no fences between intention and animal—observing ears, tails and the quiet negotiations of herd life before the group melts back into the forest edge for a guided hike.

A cool breeze moves through the pines as you step off the gravel drive and into a sun-dappled pasture. Horses and donkeys lift their heads, curious but unhurried, moving at liberty across gentle knolls. You walk among them—no saddles, no fences between intention and animal—observing ears, tails and the quiet negotiations of herd life before the group melts back into the forest edge for a guided hike.
Northern Wisconsin’s landscape is glacial in origin: low ridges, kettle ponds and mixed stands of maple, birch and red pine that still carry the scent of damp needles and loam. The region’s farming and logging past shaped small communities like Westboro; today, working farms and conservation parcels sit side-by-side, and equine stewardship here often emphasizes natural herd behavior over riding discipline.
Expect about 3.5 hours total: an intimate pasture encounter, a forest walk on singletrack and old logging lanes, then a campfire with hot drinks and s’mores. The farm meeting spot is by a small red building next to the flag pole—arrive in sturdy footwear and layered clothing. Guides will brief on herd etiquette, keep interactions safe, and lead a moderate-level hike through uneven terrain.
Practical notes: this private experience is great for animal lovers and hikers comfortable with 1–2 miles of mixed trail walking; bugs can be active in spring and summer, and dusk fires are chilly—bring a windproof layer. Because this is a manual-confirmation private tour, confirm logistics 24–48 hours in advance and note the 24-hour cancellation window. You’ll leave with a better sense of horse behavior, a quieter rhythm, and the smell of a campfire on your jacket.

This part of northern Wisconsin was heavily logged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; many modern trails follow old logging roads that shaped local settlement patterns.
Landowners often work with county conservation programs to maintain forest health and pasture habitat; visitors are asked to follow Leave No Trace and avoid feeding wildlife or domestic animals.
