Therapy horse visits

We were delighted to have a visit by Tyson the Clydesdale-cross therapy horse. His handler Sally Curtis has been taking Tyson to rest homes and hospitals – and now hospice – for about a year, taking advantage of the horse’s gentle and seemingly knowing nature.

Sally says Tyson seems to know when people are unwell.

The Nelson Mail came along to document the visit with photos, a video and a story by journalists Samantha Gee and Braden Fastier. Check our their story on Stuff here.
