A Special Visitor

Ishtar the Arabian horse has been visiting the Village at Smith Creek for over 20 years. Ishtar’s owner, Janice Visscher, is a neighbour and has trained her horse to do math sums!

Recreation Team Member Judy Atwood arranged this special visit in our beautiful gardens and Misty Powell, also from our Recreation Team, baked ginger snap cookies with her Residents to serve at the event.

Animal therapy is a delightful way to promote emotional wellness, and is a regular part of our initiatives to provide health for the whole person at Baptist Housing. You may be interested in reading more about Animals and Wellness.
