Unique dog restriction -PLEASE READ
We love dogs at Willow Running and they are welcome at most of our events (on a 6' or less leash). This event is unique in that it is being hosted by Sunshine Horses and some horses can be sensitive to new animals on the farm. For the safety of the horses, we are going to ask that dogs are left home for this event and enjoy all of our other Willow Running events with your four-legged friends.
