It is well known that interacting with animals can have a positive impact on an individual's emotional health and wellbeing. Most of us are familiar with therapy dogs, but have you ever hear of miniature horse therapy?
Recently, a pair of miniature horses paid a special visit to the residents of Franklin Place Memory Care in Franklin, Wisconsin. Needless to say, they were a big hit! These animal visits foster a natural connection and can even help ease some of the symptoms of dementia. Judging by the smiles all around, that’s exactly what happened.
The event was covered by the local CBS News in Milwaukee. You can watch the video here.
