Petie the Pony is sure to put a smile on kids faces when making the rounds at Akron Childrens Hospital. Certified through the Delta Society, Petie is a miniature horse/Shetland pony that has been serving the community since 1997. This WKYC-TV report details the story behind Peties visits to the hospital, from the cleaning up process to the elevator ride to the widened eyes up on the units.
My mini and I just passed our evaluation Nov 15 with Delta. Was it difficult to get places that would allow Petie indoors? We are in Massachusetts and when we get our formal badge will start touching base with places but do wonder what road blocks you folks found and how you managed to overcome them.

I'm not sure how the process worked. Petie's been coming to Akron Children's for several years. Your best bet would be to contact Victory Gallop farms. Petie actually visits several hospitals.
