A young woman is leading a horse which is looking in the window of a care home where two residents are sitting.

A care home resident is seen from behind as she strokes the nose of a black pony that is standing outside the patio door.

A black pony is walking through the corridor of a care home. We see him from behind. The lady leading him turns around and smiles in to the camera.

We always want to expand our reach and show that all of society can benefit from spending time with horses. This week Reggie visited a local care home to spread some horsey joy. He brought back a lot of fond memories and smiles for residents! 🐴
