Boroughbridge manor Care Home, in Boroughbridge, North Yorkshire, was full of animal mischief on Tuesday 26th November when we were delighted to welcome the Miniature Therapy Pony, cartier when he came to visit the home.
Residents at Boroughbridge manor were pleasantly surprised to see their new furry friend roaming around and made his way into the home.

Our residents have really enjoyed their seeing the therapy pony today. We knew that he would be gratefully received by the 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.
