What to Bring - Animal Feeding - Weather

Bring - Don't Bring

This is an outdoor event in a pasture. The following are things you SHOULD bring, or NOT bring:

• Bring appropriate footwear, as you will be in a pasture and may step in something.
   
• Bring bug repellant spray. You may need this as their may be mosquitoes.
   
• Bring folding chairs and a folding table. Blankets may not work as ants could be a problem, and you are in a pasture. 
   
• You may want to Bring some picnic style food as well. 
   
• Bring water, soda or any other nonalcoholic drink. We are here to share and grow, "enuf said".
   
• DO NOT BRING BARBEQUES, CANDLES or anything with FIRE as there is hay on the ground in many places and we do not want to chance a fire.
   

Animal Feeding:

If you want to feed animals please be aware of the following:

• Let's stay safe. No Children are allowed to feed or play with any animals unless supervised and in accordance with the below.
   
• Ducks & Chickens - you may bring bread and feed the ducks and chickens as you wish. However, they may follow you all night for more.
   
• Horses - You may only feed horses under direct supervision of a Braile family member. Horses eat carrots and apples. Horses will overeat and can get sick form eating to much, therefore horse feeding will be limited and supervised.
   
• Tortoises - The large tortoises will eat carrots, bananas and watermelon out of your hand. They will not bite you unless they think your hand is food. Caution: Tortoises are slow but could bite off a finger if you mistakenly put it into their mouth.
   
• Inside critters: (Chinchillas, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, etc,) Please do not feed or stick your hands in cages. Tours will be given by members of the Braile family before the philosophy session.
