Clydesdales walk through aged care village

Two Clydesdale horses walked through the grounds of Peninsula Village on February 18.

The horses, eight-year-old Lenny and and five-year-old Sonny had a tour through the buildings of the village to meet with the less mobile residents.

It's not every day you get to see a draft horse walking the halls of an aged care facility.

Gary Cullen who owns the two horses, residing at Emerald Park Equine at Mandalong, started visiting nursing homes about four years ago, originally just with Lenny.

Gary said he was happy to share and show off the beautiful nature of the animals.

"It was such a pleasure to see the joy this visit brought to the residents," said Peninsula Village CEO Mr Shane Neaves.

Footage of the Clydesdale visit can be viewed on YouTube, under the title Clydesdales visit Peninsula Village.
