🎄🐴 What a magical night! 🐴🎄The Bar Jo Ranch ponies and our incredible pony wranglers had such a great time at the BMO Candy Cane Gala on Friday night!
The ponies loved all the attention (and a few extra snuggles!), and our team had so much fun meeting everyone who stopped by. ❤️Thank you to the organizers and all the wonderful families who made the evening so special!
