General Manager Susan Carter said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their unusual visitor today. We knew that having the pony therapy here would be a bit of fun for all our residents, especially as some find it difficult to go on many outings in our minibus. We are always looking for new activities for the residents and today we have seen the seen the enjoyment and the therapeutic influence animals can have on people.”
