It’s always a JOYFUL day when we get to hang out with the families of Rays For Rare. Each of these families has a medically fragile child. Saturday’s event was called “Heroes in Plain Sight” and that’s the perfect title. They are truly our heroes!!!❤️❤️❤️

Ahhhh…such a great afternoon providing programs for some awesome Riverside Elementary students. We taught the Friendship lesson and the Trust lesson. The kids were interactive and we had terrific discussions! Our pro minis, Levi and Sophie ate up all the attention.

A huge thank you to volunteers Lee Ann, Jeanne, and Lori P.! This was a dirty, dusty job yesterday clipping the 3-4 inch shaggy winter coats off of Levi and Sophie. We would be leaving buckets of hair at every travel program if we didn’t shave them. Now that the temperatures are going to plummet, they’re in their horsey blankets to keep warm these next few days! ❤️🐴❤️

The calm before the storm…It’s been a gorgeous week at the Mini Ranch but things are about to change- winds, rain, and possibly hail are on their way. Idaho spring weather for sure. Heaven knows we need lots of rain - so bring it! 🙌🌧️🐴🤠
