I took Mazie in an assisted living place a few years ago--it was awesome. It's tricky though... I can only fit one in the van--and it's hard on a horse to be away from the herd. I didn't want to take one wee horse in the trailer... So--it's easier to bring the residents out here. So, for four years now, the same assisted living place has brought a bus load of 16 out here in July for a horse show. There are lots of photos on my website..... :-D
