There is a lot to see on the Farm at Thanksgiving Point….And we got pony rides, a hayride, and the petting zoo all
for only $2.50.  Tiff has an annual pass to the farm so she got us in half price…COOL!  Loved THAT! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

pound into the horse’s hooves?  Crazy! But they say it doesn’t hurt! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

We couldn’t get my granddaughter to go on the horse, and then the nice lady running the ponies just took her
and talked to her about petting the horse, letting it smell her hand and get to know her, and then
just sat her up on one and walked around with her….it was like magic!  <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
