Cathy,
    There comes a time when every wonderful thing must come to an end, and sadly this is one of those times.  It is with deep sorrow that I had to close the Running Horse Ranch Pony Carousel.  The main reason for this was because of extensive family medical commitments that AL & I now have.   Over the last 9 wonderful and fun filled years in the southeast, including the Savannah area, I have traveled to many fine Georgia cities with our babies.  I have met many wonderful folks, and hopefully made many long lasting friends that I will cherish forever.  I have also met some of the most wonderful children, both the young and the old, the physically fit and the physically challenged, that a person could ever dream of meeting.  I have even been blessed to watch some of the kids grow over the years, when they would return to the Pony Carousel each and every year!  That is why I was very, very particular about "WHO" I let my business and "Babies" go to.  I knew as soon as we met, you were the "THAT" person to continue what I had begun.  Best wishes, keep up the wonderful work and may "every child's dream come true".

Cathy,
    Just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know how much fun the kids had when you were here the other day with the ponies. You made sure that all of the kids had their own turn and that my special guy had all the time he wanted on his pony Red. Those ponies were so sweet and well trained. Can you come back next year?

Cathy,
    Elisa, had so much fun when she found the ponies at Oatland Island last Saturday, and I just wanted to say thank you for going the extra so she could ride her favorite, Trixie, that made it super special to her.  Thanks Again!

Cathy,
    I would like to thank you for the opportunity to meet your "babies".   Even as an adult I am still a pony lover!  I appreciate the time you took to introduce me to your ponies, including your sweet older lady.  Being allowed to "pet" the ponies was a highlight of my day,  well worth the trip to Georgia.
    I look forward to seeing you and your ponies at a future event.  Again Thank YOU!

Cathy,
    Joe and I wanted to let you know what fun we had filling in for you when your inlaws were both hospitalized at the same time and you couldn't do your pony rides.  The kids made the work fun and the smiles on their faces was something else. I can say that we stayed busy all day at both the YMCA and the Church.  I believe that the ponies were a super fund raiser's for both events as we went home tired those nights but also very happy as we were able to give joy to kids and see their smiles.  You had told us about the smiles the kids have when they ride the ponies but we got to see it first hand and that meant alot to us.  We were amazed that some of the kids knew your ponies by name from other events and they just had to ride their favorite even if it meant having to wait a longer time.  Let us know if we can ever step in and help again.  By the way your ponies behaved wonderfully for us.
    Love, Celeste and Joe
