Woofs & Whinnies

Introducing dogs to horses

The Marin Humane Society's Adoption Outposts

Woofs and Whinnies - help take the surprise factor out of meeting horses on the trails! Open to 8 dog friendly dogs who have completed Family Dog 2 or more... and their friendly humans.

With the generous help of the volunteers and the equine residents of Marin Stables, we are offering a hands-on workshop to help make encounters with horses less stressful for you, your dog, the horse and the horses' riders. We will be meeting real horses, taking care to provide a safe setting for the success of one and all.
