Sad News Shared By Zollman Zoo in Southeast Minnesota

A popular zoo in Southeast Minnesota that many families and residents love to explore had a sad update for fans today.  Zollman Zoo, located just outside of Byron, Minnesota at 5731 County Rd 105 NW (Get Directions), shared the news that their beloved pony has passed away.

If you're a frequent visitor of the Zollman Zoo you may have noticed that a familiar face has been missing. After a diagnosis of Laminitis the pony was on pain management treatment for a few weeks. Unfortunately, the pain management was no longer working and along with his age of 27 years old the staff and vet made the hard decision to humanely euthanize the pony.
