Theres also a Grooming Time that gives you a hands on experience with the horses under the guidance of stable caretaker Karey White."I have guests who comment all the time that they can do Yoga anywhere, but in the city there is no opportunity to play with horses. Here, they get an up close and personal experience with the horses, in a controlled environment," said Karey.The Ste. Anne spa packages also include a wellness class. The Morning Muck and Evening Turn In activities can be substituted for the that class but the Grooming Time cannot be substituted, it can be added to your visit for $45.
