In recent years, therapy pets have become more common in schools, as well as other places. One of the best (and cutest) therapy animals are miniature horses.

Miniature horses aren’t just good therapy animals because they’re cute, they serve as a calming presence that can help someone deal with stress or any anxiety they might have. If a person has trouble with motivation, then the mini horse can assist with that as well. The horse provides a sense of encouragement for the person that requires help or lacks motivation in their life.

The horse’s small size and cute appearance also have benefits for people who struggle with anxiety. The small size makes them more calming and relaxing, which can aid with physical health as well as emotional health.

Mini horse therapy can come in a variety of different forms depending on what the person wants. One option is riding the mini horse, though it isn’t always allowed. For the people who are able to, riding a mini horse can improve muscle strength and coordination, as well as being very fun.

For the people who can’t ride mini horses, there are lots of other activities to do. People can pet the horse or walk it around an area on a lead. There are also activities the horse can do with someone to help improve their confidence and social skills.

Mini horses have become an increasingly popular form of animal therapy. There are many more benefits to mini horses than their adorable faces.
