Staff and residents at Boroughbridge Manor dusted off their cowboy hats and saddled up for a rootin’-tootin’ good time as they celebrated National Cowboy Day with a Wild West-themed extravaganza.

Led by General Manager Susan Carter, the home was transformed into a frontier-style ranch for the day, complete with decorations, props, country music, and a whole host of themed activities. Residents galloped into the fun with a hilarious round of horse racing on dressed-up space hoppers, bringing plenty of laughter and friendly competition.

The celebrations continued with Wild West games, toe-tapping country and western music, and a hearty American-themed menu served up by the home’s talented kitchen team.

Many residents shared fond memories of cowboy films and old Westerns, reminiscing about their favourite stars and stories from the silver screen. The day was filled with joy, laughter, and a strong sense of community spirit.
