Our horses (and donkeys) involved in this programming, will be there to inspire you as you solve clues along the way. They’ll only be as close as you like; just tell us your comfort level

The Scavenger Hunt will be held at Berkshire HorseWorks ranch (101 Patton Road, Richmond, MA) and will kick off at 10:00 am. Clues will be hidden throughout the 7 acres of nature trails, paddocks, natural pond, and gardens. The walk is gentle and easily navigated by all generations! The 10 clues will be a combination of Berkshire fun facts and horse trivia. Special awards will be given to the first three teams who solve all clues in the fastest time. There will be a bonus clue for those who register

before Friday, June 14th which will lead to $100 hidden on the trail. The team that finds it first takes it home!!! A BBQ/ HOEDOWN will immediately follow.
