Rain or Shine!!! The Healing with Horses Ranch Trick or Treat Trail is a free, open-to-the-community event to celebrate Halloween in a safe, fun environment along the beautiful forested area of our property. This year, we are a proud partner with the City of Austin's annual Roots and Wings Festival.
Attendees will be able to join us on our 47 acres of preserved land just outside the city, meet members of our therapy horse herd, participate in nature/wildlife themed activities, join in a raffle, and take home a plentiful bounty of treats! If it rains, we’ll be in our covered arena, but bring raincoats & umbrellas, just in case!
The Trick-or-Treat trail is approximately 1 mile long. A decorated “Trick-or-Treat" stop is located approximately every 12 - 20ft down the trail. At each stop you can pick up a sweet treat and/or participate in an activity. This year, we are excited to provide a scavenger hunt, face painting, wildflower “seed bomb" making, temporary tattoos, and bat box painting. Costumes are encouraged, but not required! Our staff and volunteers will be in costume and we would love to see you in costume too. Please note this is a family friendly event and we ask all attendees to choose a costume suitable for all ages.
This is a “BYOBasket" event. Bring your favorite basket, bucket, pillow case, shopping bag, or other container for all those sweet treats you will pick up along the trail.

We strive to be an accessible event. For accessible parking please talk to a volunteer when you arrive. We can direct your vehicle to a park arena that best meets accessibility needs.
Please note that our property consists of manicured natural trails that are free of large debris and mowed. However, there are still some hills, uneven ground, and natural obstacles. Most individuals using motorized wheelchairs, all terrain walkers, crutches, and/or other mobility aids have been able to navigate the hills, uneven ground, and natural obstacles. Additionally, most strollers fare just fine on the trails. This event has minimal potential to have flashing lights, loud sounds, and/or other sensory elements that may be more intense for some.
