The Mane Event

The Mane Event is a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission has always been to help make the world a happier place.

Founded in February of 2018, the Taylor’s use trained miniature horses and barnyard friends to bring joy and smiles to everyone we encounter. Once the Taylor’s retired in 2020, the Mane Event was transferred to WildeWood Farm, Inc and to Hannah Zapletal and her family.

There are many ways a person can benefit from spending time with a horse. They can improve a person’s happiness, especially for someone facing physical, mental, or emotional challenges. Horses have a quiet nature that can boost spirits, give confidence, provide a feeling of tranquility, and offer companionship for the lonely.

Empowering Struggling Youth: Equine Assistive Learning

WildeWood Farm offers an incredible program for youth experiencing emotional or physical traumas. As adults it is our priority to protect, nurture and communicate with our children; setting them up for fulfilling adult lives. Horses are naturally therapeutic creatures, they are highly intuitive and feed off the emotions of humans. We work directly with our horses to help troubled children and teens recover from emotional and physical traumas. Equine therapy is a commonly used method for emotional support for people of all ages. You can ask to join our private Empowering Struggling Youth (ESY) Facebook page here.
