Meet the stars of our visits - the horses.
We have 2 miniature horses, both are purebred tiny American Miniature horses who's parents were imported from the USA.
Our oldest therapy horse and the boldest is Chywoon Rusty's Applause 28" Silver White Pinto gelding who is now 12yrs old and has been doing therapy visits both in and outdoors for over 8yrs.
Applause as he is better known is a very sweet natured curious little horse with a big heart. He has walked into a hospice room right up to the beds of dying patients with a genuine sensitivity. On one instance he had bearly a 3ft gap to fit into to get right up to the bed to nuzzle a patient's hand but he did it without fear or panic.
