Joey, Service Horse

Today we went to a really interesting program at our local library featuring a unique service animal.  Joey, a miniature Shetland pony, is one of four therapy horses that this family owns.  Besides bringing cheer to people in hospitals and senior care centers, he is also a regular at libraries, listening while children read to him.  Joey is full grown and housebroken, loves children, and rides around in a mini van!  Hmm.... maybe I should try to convince Girl 1 that she'd rather have a miniature horse than a full size horse!  :)
