Yesterday we welcomed Don Kennedy, retired US Navy Senior Chief and Captain of the Marion County Memorial Honor Guard, Inc. to our ranch. It means so much, when someone who has spent so much time serving our country and continues to serve our veteran community to stop by and see our horses and tour the farm. Thank you Sir for your service and for spending part of your day with us.

🇺🇸 A special visit from Marine, Ron Zaleski, who is well known for walking barefoot across America, thousands of miles, to bring awareness to veteran su***de and PTSD and the struggles so many veterans carry. Thank you Ron, for visiting our farm, sharing your journey, connecting with our veterans who came out to meet you and your dedication to bringing attention to our veterans.
Ponies for Patriots & Pint Size Therapy is a place of understanding, friendship and community. ❤️September is Su***de Prevention month, an important reminder to check on our veterans and let them know they are not forgotten. Thank you my friend, Randie Duretz for such meaningful photos.
