 Miniature Horses make fantastic therapy animals. Visits to
nursing homes, schools and hospitals are a wonderful way to share your
miniature horse. Any calm, small miniature horse can be trained to ride in
elevators, walk calmly into buildings, and even get used to strange sites
like walkers and wheelchairs.We really enjoy these type of outings and
the horses seem to like to visit too. The photos below are of Libby and
Holly's first nursing home visit. The residents LOVED them, the elderly men
especially like to tell stories of their horses they used to have.
We were told several residents seldom showed any interest in activities,
but the miniatures were an exception. We highly recommend this type
activity, and just know that you will receive a blessing if you choose to
share your miniatures too.
