We went on a hay ride, visited with sheep, explored the horse barn, checked out the snoring pig (more on that later) and ate a couple of really delicious barbecue plates.
Of course, you know CJ also went horseback riding for a couple of hours!
The Hay Day celebration was a fundraiser.
The HRRRF is a non-profit and doesn't have any employees at all. Everyone that works there is a volunteer. However, they've got quite a few horses to take care of. They also take in whatever other critters they can, when and if they can.
When you tour the property, you see everything from horses to miniature donkeys, chickens to goats. We even saw a cat streak by the open barn door.
The people there are wonderful! They've all got big hearts and kind souls. They really do want to help the helpless, rescue the animal in distress, nurse them back to health and find them awesome forever homes.
The problem is that it takes money to do that. It takes money to feed the animals, get them the vet care they need and keep the lights on. Of course, they need other things too but you get where we're going with this.

The HRRRF could really use your help. Please visit their site, read some of the resident's stories and then volunteer (like we've signed up to do) and donate, if you can.
Have fun, stay safe and God bless,
