National Nursing Home Week was celebrated from May 13 - 19, 2012.
Every year our local Nursing Homes and Assisted Living Facility ask us
to bring our miniatures and ponys to their facilities and give rides and
have some fun with the residents This year we visited three locations.
The residents were waiting at the door for us - ready to go for a ride - and what fun we had!
Many of them reminisced about their younger days - "courting" in a horse and buggy -
riding a pony to school - or doing field work with a team.
Following a ride around the neighborhood, Hal answered questions and showed them
some of the maneuvers required in the show ring.
Jerry and Bear, our team of Classic Shetlands, were definitely a hit!
