FAU Libraries @Jupiter Science Blog

Dr. James Wetterer's  PCB 2174 Honors Behavioral Ecology  class took students  on a field trip to learn about minature horses used as therapy horses. One of the students in the class, allowed us to visit her family home and stables.

Here are a few images. They also have many other horses, and a goat! I am determined to find a way to get a goat for the library as a therapy animal! Afterall, there is such a thing as library cats, so why not library goats!!

Here are a few more links to read up on the subject of mini therapy horses:
