How therapy ponies are helping a former draught horse expert get back in the saddle

By Sarah Abbott

97 year old farmer Alan Mitchelson has spent plenty of his life alongside horses, mostly working with draught horses and pack horses on his family farm near Westbury.

These days he puts his horse-whispering skills to use when meeting much smaller members of the equine family, as he did earlier this week at the equine assisted learning facility, Donovan Park.

Alan was part of a group of dementia clients that visited the facility recently, run by Jo Pickett, on a mission to get some quality hang-out time with its furry residents.
