Tommy and Skippy Go on an Adventure

Yesterday Tommy and Skippy went on an adventure to the Avera Prince of Peace Retirement Community and met some of the residents. We had a great time and the ponies had fun showing off (which is what they love to do most!)


There was one gentleman in particular that fell in love with the ponies and it made the trip even more special for me. I can picture myself someday and I hope that there will be opportunities to have horses and other animals visit me when my body is played out and I'm trapped in a body that doesn't allow me to do the things I once did.


I love the fact that our seniors can brighten the days of other seniors. It's what I've wanted to do for years now. Thankfully the staff at Prince of Peace are the ones who made the offering for us to visit and I hope that we can return and share the ponies again and again.


If you check out our Facebook page, you'll see some pictures. I had my hands full with the ponies (although one of their workers gladly helped and I love getting the opportunity to share working with horses with others).


When the time comes for me to retire, I either want to go to Estelline because they have a petting zoo and an amazing garden or I want to go to Prince of Peace because they keep those residents hoping. They had our visit with the ponies and then were headed to the zoo in the afternoon! How fun would that be!


I'm hoping the next time we go, I can bring Penny along too!
