It’s spring, so pony visits have returned to Ontario Center in Canandaigua on March 21st as Angie Mack from animal farm Kasey’s Cast-a-Ways in Port Jervis, New York, made her way inside the 98-bed skilled nursing facility on County Complex Drive with a pony named Tucker. Residents loved seeing the 17-year-old Tucker, they smiled and laughed upon seeing the pony, and some even expressed their love by hugging him. Angie works along with horse handler Linda Cole who heads up Kasey’s Cast-a-Ways, the animal farm that has been making these visits for many years.
