The kids had horses on the list of animals to see on Open Farm Day recently. One farm we visited had twenty horses and a variety of other animals, including rabbits, cats, dogs, turkeys, goats, and pigs. The kids loved it.
One turkey looked to be ready for Thanksgiving in a few weeks and not in a good way.
The goats were oblivious to the visitors
as was the pig.
The Great Dane was taller than many of the children.
The horses were the highlight of the visit however.
Riding lessons are the bread and butter of this farm and that day, children had rides around the barn. Great fun for the kids!
The horses enjoyed the hay offered in the two paddocks.
Three miniature horses had their own enclosure but put their heads through the fence to be fed grass which was beyond their reach. The grass was longer on the other side of the fence.
My favourite photo is of our six year old granddaughter feeding the horse which had its head through the fence. She was unafraid of the animals, even this toothy one.

These are the adventures the kids will always remember, as you know, Marie. How wonderful! I love the last image, of course, but my other favorite is the one showing who Betty is. :)
Wish I could have been with you I love horses and I loved my Great Dane which I had in my late teens. Best bodyguard I have ever had :-) Cheers Diane
Glad that the kids love the animals. The last photo is priceless.
The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence Marie... only kidding 😉 Love the last shot too, the miniature horses are almost as cute as your granddaughter, but not quite 😁
even my favorite is last one Marie
