Around the Mountain with LJ James - Grey Horse Farms, Stall Or Treat (With Real Live Unicorn!)

CAIRO — One of my favorite things that has become big in recent years leading up to Halloween is "Trunk or Treats". They are a great way to get the kids (and me) all excited as Halloween draws near. I have taken my nieces to a bunch of them this year. 

When I heard "Grey Horse Farms" 418 Sunside Rd, in Cairo was having a "Stall or Treat" with horses in costumes, I knew it was something we had to check out. 

We were not disappointed. The event had horses dressed up in costumes, such as Bathorse, the Lorax Horse, a Ghost Horse, and even an Ozzy Osborne Horse.

All the horses had buckets full of candy in front of the stalls for the kids to take as they petted and interacted with the horses. There was bobbing for apples and even pumpkin painting. 

The highlight of the event was definitely the "Real Live Unicorn". I was skeptical at first and thought that the unicorn was fake, but after a quick inspection, it was clear this unicorn was 100% real! For only $5, children were able to ride on the unicorn in the arena inside the giant barn.

I talked with Hillary, the owner of Grey Horse Farms and the person running the event. I asked her, Where did the idea for this event come from? She told me, "She just feels there is not enough stuff for kids to do in the area" and hey, when you own your own real live unicorn, who isn't going to want to show it off? 

This was the first year for this event, and it was absolutely cool and different. I spoke with some of the staff, and they said they are looking to make it bigger and better next year.  

Of all the horses, the coolest one was definitely "The Dude" But yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, my opinion, man!
