Horse-of-Course with Boston Park Rangers
Come join a Boston Park Ranger and one of the mounted units from their herd for a ‘meet and greet.’ Learn about their role in the parks and how the rangers care for their mounted partners. These programs usually last from 30 minutes to an hour.
Horse-of-Course programs are a part of Boston’s park and recreation programs, which collectively are called ‘Hike Boston.’ However, Horse-of-Course is a stationary program without any hiking or walking.
Accessibility: This is a stationary program taking place on paved ground outside the Hunnewell Building.
Audience: This program is appropriate for all ages.
