The Lethbridge Therapeutic Riding Association is just one of the service places to be closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Eilish Short, the program coordinator said, “We thought, we have access to these amazing horses, so why not use them for something? We thought, if we could visit long-term care facilities, kind of give them something different to look at through the window, something fun to see — just because they are unfortunately not allowed to leave.”

Eilish and another association volunteer, Chrissy Laurie-Morgan brought the two horses, Scooter and Maddie to St. Therese Villa. They spent a Friday afternoon there to spread positivity among its senior residents. Now, the riding association continues to visit senior homes across the region to bring comfort to the elderly.
