SOUL Harbour Ranch Celebrates Opening of New Training Center
SOUL Harbour Ranch celebrated the opening of its new 60-by-120-foot training center this past Friday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony co-hosted by the Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce.
Generously donated by the Foglia Family Foundation, the new center will allow the ranch to expand its mission of “sharing unconditional love through animal-assisted therapy.”
The group currently offers miniature horses, dogs, cats, a rabbit, mini donkeys, pigs, and full-size horses, and it frequently visits local schools, public libraries, shopping centers, and more.
BOO in the Barn Fundraiser
See the new center and visit with the animals at the organization’s upcoming “Boo in the Barn” fundraiser, set for Saturday, Oct. 26, from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The event will feature spooky trail walks, crafts, trick-or-treat stations, a campfire cookout, and refreshments.
