Therapy ponies at YVR Vancouver Airport!
Feeling stressed at the airport? 🐴 🐴
Vancouver’s YVR just brought in some unexpected reinforcements—therapy ponies. Meet Magic and Tinkerbell, the newest (and cutest) members of the airport’s wellness crew. They’ll be trotting through the terminal a few days a week to calm nerves and turn chaos into calm. The airport already had therapy dogs, but decided to level up by teaming up with Green Acres Therapy Horses in Delta.
YVR is the first airport in Canada to bring in ponies for passenger support, and people are loving it—kids, staff, and even RCMP officers are stopping for selfies and snuggles. The ponies are still in their trial phase, but their visit times will be posted on YVR’s site so travelers can catch them in action. Flying sucks a little less when there’s a pony involved.
