We have all seen therapy dogs make nursing home visits to cheer up the residents. But you’ve probably never heard of a visit from a horse…

Yes, a horse. In Brisbane, Australia a horse made the rounds at Buckland House to cheer up the elderly residents.

Manefield District Hospital, which the nursing home is attached to, shared the pictures on their Facebook page.

The horse is seen calmly trotting around in the building, visiting each room to say hi to everyone.
