Mane in Heaven visited the place my Mom was living. They were the sweetest creatures and all the residents really seemed to enjoy the visits.
And a woman I used to work with runs this place with her husband.

I am always astounded at the connection that can develop between humans and animals. And the various therapy animals really do so much good, it's beyond words.
I certainly am familiar with all the different kinds of therapy dogs, but this is the first I've seen a therapy horse. A full sized horse is so amazing to see if you're not someone who's around horses a lot.
Just came back from lunch with a friend who is getting certified in equine therapy. We talked a lot about how this works. As a flight animal, horses are especially gifted at assisting people suffering from trauma. A big deep subject as to how and why.
