Goats, pot bellied pigs, zebos and a talking duck got up close. and personal with the littli ones: But don't' dare ignore any of the goats or they will nibble on your jeans to get your attention! Seniors were bused in from thesurroundmng com- mumities to enjoy an after-, noon of shows and events planned especially for them.

Located In -Uxbrldge, T.R.A.C.K. provides riding therapy for physlcally hand- icapped and learning dis- abled chldren. The oppor- tunlty to ride and socialize gives these children physi- cal, psychological and social benefits.
