not active due to insufficient funds.
This Program entails petting opportunities with mini ponies, ponies performing tricks and special visits to bed bound residents of assisted living centers and nursing homes.
Elderly citizens in nursing homes benefit from our pet therapy program. The benefits of pet and equine assisted therapies are to lower blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels as well as increase social interaction and emotional well being.
“ I didn’t expect to be entertained by a horse so cute. I can relax and just enjoy it!”
– Dr. Kim – a resident of the Burbank Health Care Center.
