Original Toronto Star caption: Neighborly nuzzle. The ponies on Toronto Islands' Centreville Farm get along with a fine; You scratch my back; I'll scratch yours attitude. The only difference is they use their noses to do the scratching. When the ponies aren't carrying kids of all ages; they get a rest and are free to meander at will. The farm will be open this weekend. Kids can also enjoy rides; the antics of other farm animals and even ride in swan paddle boats.
