Friends of Monastery Stables
Some people don't just visit this place. They belong to it.
Established in 2026, Friends of Monastery Stables is our membership community — the people who care about this land, these horses, and this sanctuary, and who want to be part of what we are building here.

“ Monastery stables is such a beautiful place to visit! I love to hike and visit the park frequently, it's such a hidden gem, and I LOVEE looking at the horses! The staff is so kind and knowledgeable, they're always so happy to teach me about the horses (it truly brightens my day every time). It's very clear how well loved and cared for these horses are, and I just love being in their presence. ”
