Journey With Equus
A meaningful setting for this gathering.
This ceremony takes place at Journey With Equus, a horse and donkey rescue in Elizabeth, Colorado. The land, the animals, and the spirit of sanctuary bring a special depth to the day.
This gathering also gives back. A portion of proceeds from this event will be donated to Journey With Equus in support of the sanctuary and its ongoing care for horses and donkeys. Guests will also have the opportunity to make an additional donation while on site.
Choose Your Drum
Select the drum that fits your tone, size, and material preference.
For a lighter, more accessible starting point, the 12-inch drum is a beautiful choice.
If you are drawn to a deeper, fuller sound, choose a larger drum and consider a thicker hide such as elk or bison.
