Thanks for sharing such a lovely post! Smurf is gorgeous (as one resident said!) and what a super owner 😊

Shamelessly bumping.
It is worth a read.

Ah...a giver of love. How absolutely gorgeous.

I saw another article on FB today of another therapy horse group with Shetlands going to homes and pulling the residents up and down the corridors like Ben Hurr.

It looked quite fast, in a normal wheelchair, avoiding things in a tight space. I did wonder how they did it, the pony looked to be attached to the wheelchair, or at least wearing a harness. I think it may have been just trotting alongside.

That said, when I am older, I would LOVE a chariot race down the corridor!

That looks fun.

How canny is that! Bonny little lad.

I think the harness is mostly a poo catcher

If the corridors were circular you could have a real Ben Hur arena race...

I'm going to stand for government and my primary campaign promise will be that all care homes must include a circus maximus for the entertainment of the residents!

Surely it’d be a circus minimus!
