Therapy ponies bring joy to Sheffield neuro rehabilitation centre

Resident Clive enjoys pony therapy

Residents at Stocksbridge Neuro Rehabilitation Centre in Deepcar, Sheffield, were riding high as they received a special visit from therapy ponies Leo and Harry.

The centre, known for its dedicated care for adults recovering from brain injuries and other neurological conditions, organised the event to provide a unique therapeutic experience for its residents.

Leo, a charming white pony, and Harry, a friendly brown pony, brought smiles and joy as they interacted with the residents, who were thrilled to spend time with these gentle animals. The visit was made even more special by the participation of Pixie, the centre’s beloved therapy dog, who joined in the activities, making it a memorable day for all involved.
