Ever wonder how our ponies stay warm on these blustery cold days? ❄️
Besides growing big, fluffy winter coats, the most effective way they keep warm is by doing what ponies do best—eating! 🐴
These mighty little guys rely on their internal “furnace” to generate heat, and what keeps that furnace burning? Lots and lots of calories.
To keep them extra cozy, we also serve up a warm, soupy mash that adds hydration along with those much-needed calories.
It may look a little gross to us, but Orbit thinks it’s the best thing ever! 😋 She cleans her bowl every time. Pro tip -- show your little ones Orbit happily eating her “greens” to help convince them to eat theirs, too! 🥕🥬

Snowy days at Happy Valley come with our very own Ice Princess and a castle to go a long with her! And what a better way to end the day then with colorful snow! Not the yellow kind 😉. We hope everyone enjoyed the snow! ❄⛄

48 plates just like these went out on Tuesday to any family we knew who knew a veteran.
10 plates made it to SpringWood Retirement Community.
We love our soldiers and thank them for their service!

Happy Valley had the honor of being awarded 3rd place for our float in the Harvest Day Parade! toured Happy Valley and shared his meteor with the kindergartens, tying in perfectly with the conversation they had just had about the past, present, and future! Thank you to Ed Tomlinson, The City of Arvada, and The Arvada Business Improvement District for making this possible. Can’t wait to do it again next year!
