by byte clay

Happy birthday, Land of Little Horses! Today, April 17, marks the popular farm park’s 45 year as a mainstay attraction in the greater Gettysburg area. To mark the occasion they’re throwing a special birthday party celebration.

The birthday celebration will take place today from noon to 4 p.m. At this time, visitors to the park will get to share in the special day with all the ongoing festivities, including the enjoyment of a piece of carrot cake, which will be served in honor of the occasion.

Regular daily events scheduled on Sundays will take place accordingly, beginning with the ever-popular Performing Animal Show at 12:30 p.m., which will take place inside the onsite arena. Other events will include Brushes or Bubbles, which allows you to take part in the hands-on grooming activities of brushing and bathing horses; Close Encounters, where visitors can get up close and personal with the famed “little horses” and other animal friends, and the daily Herd Release (weather and other conditions permitting). You can read about the farm park’s daily schedule of events here.

To kick off another fabulous year in the making, Land of Little Horses is starting its spring season earlier, offering Value Days during the months of April and May. Additionally, there will be other special events taking place in the coming months. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day specials will be featured on May 8 and June 19, where moms and dads receive special gifts upon farm visits, each on their special day. Grandparent’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday, September 11, where all visiting grandparents will likewise receive a special gift. Learn more about all upcoming special events by clicking here.
