Diane, visited our ranch with her daughter the other day and she was so kind to post this on her page that I wanted to share here! She also took some amazing videos with crazy fun music, I just don’t know how to share on this page. 😞 sorry
“Yesterday, my daughter and I visited this hidden gem in Lincoln called Short Stack Ranch, where love runs on hooves (and sometimes belly flops). It just happens to be run by a friend of mine, Therese Marchetti Giannelli.
If heaven had a petting zoo, it would look a lot like Short Stack Ranch. This place is pure magic—a sanctuary where mini horses strut with attitude, donkeys demand scratches like royalty, and goats plot their next great escape (with absolutely no remorse). Every rescued animal here gets a second chance at love, safety, and unlimited snacks, thanks to the incredible humans who dedicate their lives to their care.
Supporting this ranch isn’t just about helping animals—it’s about believing in kindness, second chances, and the healing power of a well-timed donkey bray. Donate, visit, or just follow their journey—you won’t regret it (but your heart might grow three sizes). And, as a heartwarming touch, the animals are named after Special Olympians🏅.
Shortstackranch.org would love to have you as a donor!”
