We were really excited to get a chance to meet the horses (and officers) of Portland’s Mounted Patrol at their open house on Saturday. Ruby is a self-proclaimed “animal lover” who dreams of living on a farm and who would give almost anything to have a horse of her own. The unit is in danger of being cut due to budget issues, so this was a great event to get the word out. And, as a bonus, on the way home we stopped to see the goats on Morrison Street and ended up being invited inside for an up close and personal experience (including a couple of babies). This helped secure my place as the “Best Mom Ever.”
