Awaken Your Spirit; A Spirit Horse Encounter
TJ Stables in partnership with Chatham-Kent Tourism and the Southwestern Ontario Tourism Corporation (SWOTC) are delighted to offer the first Chatham-Kent Signature Indigenous Experience. Indigenous Tourism Ontario has been a collaborating partner in the development of the experience, allowing for consultation throughout the creative process.
"Awaken Your Spirit" is a three hour Ojibwe Spirit Horse encounter that includes an opportunity to learn about the historic Ojibwe Spirit Horses and their connection to First Nations culture and history. It also allows for a chance to learn about First Nations and Métis cultures. The experience begins with a welcoming encampment fire, the sounds of the Métis fiddle and an introduction to the camp's Métis fur trader. Visitors will then explore the camp, the Tipi lodge and listen to the stories of the horses told through Indigenous Art of Rhonda Snow. Visitors will enjoy shared traditional practices, songs and drumming, followed by the story of the Little Horses and their incredible bond with Mother Earth. To culminate this experience, visitors will be provided an opportunity to feel the immense power of these small but mighty horses as they mingle with them in the field and reflect around the fire.
