The Home Town Horse Parade in Redhill, Pa, was great fun. Thanks to all the volunteers who made it a great success. Mia did a great job with the donkeys along with Serena and Jana. The crowd loved it when they trotted. Lia and Claudia wrangled Rascal, the goat. Kim and Genna were on alpaca duty and Hannah kept Kayla company at the back of the donkey cart. Kayla hasn’t been able to participate in any events since her arthritis became too bad for her to walk long distances. We could tell she enjoyed being a part of the crowd again.

And a big thanks to Kathryn and Ben Gress, for organizing all the animals and getting us there! Visit the EVENTS page to see more pictures.

A week ago, Ben and Kathryn woke at the crack of dawn to pick up.....drum roll....Yes! A GREAT PYRENEES Puppy coming on Transport from Tennessee to Pa....on the Last Chance Highway. Penny is a 5 month old Pyr puppy who is now fitting in very well at The Gress Mountain Ranch. Rocky is slowly adapting to his new little sister and we all hope that she will help to cheer him up. Rocky’s been a little sad since Kayla’s passing. But who can be sad with a beautiful friendly puppy around? Welcome Penny!
