SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- 'A Rosie Place', a non-profit that helps children and families dealing with debilitating illnesses, welcomes the 'Love-Way' Equine service 'Nosey Neighbor' Program.
16-year-old horse Miko is the new calming presence that experts say can be a very powerful thing.
"People should be able to experience being in the presence of a horse. The beautiful thing about being with a horse is when you come within four to six feet of them, your heartbeat sink, and you instantly become calmer," states Executive Director of LoveWay Shelley Becker,
Becker Continues, "And just the sensory of engaging with them. And the touch is a beautiful thing. It engages lots of memories, it creates lots of emotional and social interaction. And we want everyone to experience that."
'A Rosie Place' is the states only licensed non-profit specialty hospital that works exclusively with severely handicapped children.
