“In honour of Service and a therapy Animal Day on May 20th, I had a special visit from friends Spartacus, Sawyer and Kiwi—therapy horses from @symatreefarm in Manitoba!

Thank you to Kathy and Beth who brought this Joy to the Legislative Building today, and for all the work you do to promote mental health!”

“Spartacus is an equine therapy animal at @symatreefarm. Big thanks for introducing me to Spartacus today at the Legislature and for providing a welcome way to briefly break up the day and learn about Equine Assisted Therapy.

Spartacus provided a reminder that there are many ways we can take steps to support positive mental health - even just taking a quick moment to spend time with a gentle pony can do wonders.”

“So many of my favourite things in one story: therapy, horses and people learning to love themselves. Sometimes it’s hard to see the light when COVID consumes your life and your job. Days like today remind me why I chose journalism. And if talking about mental health means I get to spend time at places like Symatree Farm, I have no complaints!”
