Rancho De Los Animales What a Great Place!

Last weekend we went and visited our friend Beth at her great ranch for people with disabilities, Rancho De Los Animales in Arroyo Grande, CA.  It is a great ranch that is totally accessible for people with disabilities.  When you visit, Beth always has a group of great volunteers to help out those who need assistance.  She also has a couple of thrift stores that you can donate to that help to support the ranch and this great cause.

Here is a picture of Zoe checking out the pony at the ranch

Here is Alixia having the time of her life riding a pony for the first time!

Here are a few news stories that have been done on the ranch:

On Tuesday, August the 17th, they will be hosting another great community event for the visually impaired at the ranch.  This is a great opportunity for those with visual impairments to feel like royalty and to learn how to ride a horse or just enjoy the other animals on the ranch.  Lots of helpers will be available to make sure that everyone gets to enjoy the ranch.

Later in August on the 28th Access for All will be featuring Comedian Josh Blue as the entertainment for the annual Paul Wolff Accessibility Advocacy Awards Program.  Here is a link for more great information on this cause:
