Get the carriages ready for spring! Help us to decorate a carriage, play a round of croquet and learn to groom a real Newfoundland pony.
Hoof it down to the Museum for a horse-themed spring celebration. Find out how to groom a real horse with Mr. Maple, a friendly Newfoundland pony. This handsome but rare black beauty, visiting us from Kemptville, is one of the last 300 members of his endangered breed. Let your creativity take the reins by helping us decorate a horse and carriage with garlands, a tradition for special occasions. Plus play croquet and learn about a carriage used for picnics. Explore Horse Power! The Paul-Bienvenu Carriage Collection, an exhibition that carries you through 200 years of travelling in style by horse-drawn carriage and sleigh.
