We had the best outing today! The residents enjoyed every bit of it! We were greeted by Jeff, Judi, and Eric. They showed us the video of the clydsdales in competition when they won first place , and then brought out Big Baboon for us to meet 🐴 . She is a big gal 🙂 over 18 hands (we measured) . The residents had a great time. Thank you all for being so accommodating and helpful. 🥰
