Cow Hug Therapy at The Gentle Barn in Santa Clarita

Spend one-on-one time with cows in an outdoor farm setting, with a staff member or volunteer helping you connect safely. This reflective experience is designed for those seeking peace and emotional connection rather than a general animal tour.

• Hug the cows and experience the bond with these large, peaceful animals
• Meditate in the cows' company

Important details

• Ages 14+ only
• Leave pets at home. Service dogs are allowed with limitations but cannot enter animal enclosures. Bringing a pet onto the property means you will be asked to leave without a refund.
• Complete a waiver for each participant before arrival. A guardian must sign for each minor. Any waivers left unfinished must be completed on arrival, cutting into your session time.
• Wear closed-toe shoes. Sandals, flip-flops, and other open-toed shoes are not permitted in animal areas.
• Bring your own water bottle; water is not provided.
• This session includes time with cows only, not other animals on the property.
• Animal interactions depend on the cows' natural routines and availability.
• Staff and volunteers are not therapists and do not provide medical or mental health advice.
