I think any interaction with animals is beneficial so go for it. Good luck. xx

Horses are fantastic for this, go for it. I worked with and owned horses all my life until I started epilepsy 6 years ago and now I am not allowed near them. But I still talk to horses over fences when I can. As I have always said horses are good for the soul. There is just something about these amazing creatures. Dogs are also fantastic, we call mine Nurse Lucy as she knows when either of us is ill, having an off day and when I am about to have a seizure she warns me. She is definitely my best friend. Plus you can tell animals everything and they don't judge you, just give you love. xx
