It sure is terrific time for me to be at the Stables 3 to 4 times a week and being around the horse.
Being around horses offers a number of surprising health benefits, including for the aging and elderly.
Among the health benefits, one main one is just being outside, getting fresh air, and basking in the sunlight. That means more Vitamin D, which is always a good thing.
Another health benefit just comes from being near the horses. There’s just something about a calm, experienced horse that can bring a smile to the face, a gentleness to the touch, and a softness to the heart.
