I was touched by the gentle beauty of Elise, who came with the other visitors from the Mansion House, she had to use a walker to get from her seat to the pasture gate, but she was determined to do it, she came and held out her hand gently to Chloe, our pony, and the two of them made a connection.

One by one, the residents of the Mansion came up to the animals, to look at them, give them slices of their apples, talk to them and ask questions about them. It was gratifying for us to see this, we know the healing and uplifting power of these animals.
