A Minature Horse Helps The Elderly


Maggie is a visiting therapy horse who, along with her owner, Nancy LeBaron-Kiley, 55, of Conant St. in Danvers, makes frequent visits to nursing homes and facilities for the elderly, disabled, and the deaf and blind. Each year they visit the retirement community, Brooksby Village, in Peabody, the Beverly Home for the Deaf, The Beverly School for the Deaf, and many others, sometimes even going to New Hampshire. They also walk to raise money for different charities such as the Arthritis Society, with Maggie wearing a small bucket around her neck for donations.

At only 33-inches tall, the 4-year-old grey and white pinto horse can walk around these facilities greeting patients and guests in need of a furry friendĀ
