MOUNTAIN LAKE, M.N. – Good Samaritan Society - Mountain Lake residents got a surprise visit Saturday from several four-legged friends.
Heritage Horse Farms joined the Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society for its fall festival.

Bed-ridden elders got in on the action, too. A small pony was brought inside to greet people one-on-one.
