Children at Arcadia Elementary who reached their reading goal were rewarded with horseback rides this morning. Many nervous children quickly wore smiles once they felt how fun it is!

Our hearts are broken over losing this sweet boy today. Unfortunately any surgery has risks, and intact sheep get aggressive, which cannot be used for a petting farm. I also am a big supporter of rescuing and not breeding, which is the only reason to keep a ram. He will definitely be missed, he was so sweet and adorable. 💔

I just got a call from the vet, Shaggy quit breathing & his heart stopped when they were closing him up, they tried to revive him but couldn’t 😭
Rest in Heaven, my sweet boy. I’m so so sorry. My heart is broken right now 💔

Celebrated a beautiful 10 yr old’s birthday today! Frenchie gave a bunch of children their first horseback ride. I only got limited pictures due to giving all those rides. What a perfect party!

Family is everything! We can bring our fur family to entertain your family! What a fantastic time we all had. The bunnies were loved on the entire time while the bigger animals took turns visiting. Hopefully we made everyone’s day today 🥰
