Portrait: Richard.

Richard
Richard came to the farm with the group from the Mansion Assisted Care Facility in Cambridge, N.Y., he asked a lot of questions, but said he didn’t need to go near the animals, he tossed me a bag of apple slices left over from lunch. A few minutes later, he came over to the pasture fence and held his hand out to Chloe, there was an apple slice in it.

The pony took the slice and raised her nose to him. She likes you, said Maria, and Richard lit up. He grinned from ear to ear.
