Blackpool patient at Trinity Hospice who was a former landau driver on the Promenade gets special visit from his horse
AdvertisementDaughter, Kate Cannon, said: “Horses have always been a big part of our family. Even when dad gave up driving horses a couple of years ago, he still went to visit them every day, feeding them and mucking them out. “He’s never had a day off.
”Daisy Jackson, Trinity’s In-patient Unit Manager, said “Whether it’s a dog, a tortoise or a horse, we know how important people’s pets are to them, and see very often power they have of lifting the spirits of our patients. It was wonderful to see smiles all around, not only from Jimmy and his family, but from the other patients and their visitors and even our own staff who were in the hospice at the time.
