A friend of mine shared an experience recently and it made my heart swell. Not in the ‘omg I knew I shouldn’t have eaten so much fettuccine Alfredo’ way … but in the ‘there are still good people in the world’ way.

That’s her in front, leading a group of Christmas carolers on horseback. They were on their way to bring some holiday cheer to a local nursing facility and veterans home.
.
.
Santa was there.
.

And she said the smiles on the resident’s faces when they met the horses were priceless.

Everyone got to pet a horse.
.
.
Even the residents who couldn’t leave their rooms.

I don’t own or even know how to ride a horse, but I’m tempted to ask if I can join them next year.
If nothing else, I can sing off key with the best of them.

Some car cruises drive by nursing homes thru their parking lots. They WAVE and smile ! Company. Someone to REMEMBER them is what they want.

but WE can get out and go places. It takes an act of Congress for some of them to be able to do a day trip.

Your friend and her group of horse riding carolers are amazing!! Not to mention the horses that seem to enjoy the visitation and petting as well. I just love Santa’s horse with his little cap to keep his/her horsey ears warm 🐎🎄🐎🎄🐎. Maybe you should tag along next year!
