GIRL SCOUT TROOP 98858 from Washington Township visited Bergen County Horse Rescue, a nonprofit equine sanctuary in Mahwah, on Oct. 15. The girls toured the facility and learned about the 27 horses cared for on the farm. Founded in 2016, the rescue is dedicated to the rehabilitation of neglected horses, providing a safe and loving environment where the animals can interact with visitors and volunteers. The girls are pictured with Emsy (left), a thoroughbred that was too small and too slow for racing, and his best buddy, Friendly, one of the original residents at the rescue.
