  Estimated 300+ in attendance at our Christmas at the Ranch event! Lots of fun had by all, with pictures with Santa and Rudolph, games, bake sale, marshmallow roasting, ornament art, hot chocolate and cider, and visits with the animals. LoJack and Forrest were also a big hit!   Getting all ready for our Christmas at the Ranch event coming up!  Christmas at the Ranch open house scheduled for Friday, Dec 17, 5-8pm. Open to all!   What a great afternoon/evening with our Jacob's Heart bereaved siblings group! So many first time riders, big smiles, and fun together! Looking forward to partnering more with this great organization.  What an amazing weekend here at Wonder Wood Ranch, with nearly 200 people going around our Haunted Trail and enjoying all the other activities of the event. The live elements of the trail awed all, along with ghost alley, the weeping woman, and so much more. At the barn, we had pictures with the horses, and princess pictures (Rapunzel, Flynn Rider, and Maximus!), games, crafts, prizes, candy, treats, bake sale, hot drinks, marshmallow roast, pumpkin painting ... Wow! TONS of fun!  Our Haunted Trail event was listed #1 in The Salinas Californian's article on the top 5 places to visit this Halloween in Salinas!   Big thanks to the Arts Council for Monterey County for their support of our animal-related art and activities program at Boronda Manor and other low income apartment complexes in the North Salinas area!  Thanks to the Peacock Acres 17 & 18 year olds for their help getting these two looking good!   Forrest and Espree want to thank everyone who came out and supported us for our Sip and See Fundraiser! You made a big difference!  Big thanks to the North Monterey County Foundation for their grant to continue to support our equine therapeutic services for foster kids in north county. Yay!  So grateful for the support of Yellow Brick Road with their grant to help us develop and implement equine therapy for young human trafficking victims. |
