[Ag-eq] Equine therapy

[Michelle Creedy]

Nella, that's what I wanna do with my girls! Is there any way she'd mind
answering a couple of questions? Exactly about the training and the things
she had to do in order to do that. I'm also wondering about how they are
transported? We're just starting out as a team. The girls are getting so
good now! Bitsy and Rosebud both are. They are so happy moved to this new
place.

Michelle

Michelle:

A friend of mine has mini horses and mini donkeys that she takes to nursing
homes, hospitals, schools and such.  I don't know if they had any special
training or anything.

Maybe there is a certification like for therapy dogs.
