What people say
We love your horses. It’s the only opportunity my 2-year-old has had to be around horses, and she is full blown obsessed now. Thank you for everything you guys do!
Melina
I have been to Cracker Box Palace several times. I love your trails, through woods, over creeks, and along orchards. Occasionally I could see Lake Ontario.

I visited with my granddaughter and we fed the animals; I loved the horses...so gentle.
