Pony Therapy

Pony therapy has been shown to help lower stress levels, promote serotonin production, cut anxiety, and reduce high blood pressure. Research has shown that simply petting an animal lowers the stress hormone cortisol , while the social interaction between people and the ponies actually increases levels of the feel-good hormone oxytocin (the same hormone that bonds mothers to babies).
