Dear Ms. May,
I'm writing to tell you how pleased I am with the design of your
Bun-Bag. I have 2 miniature horses who are being trained to do
animal assisted activities/therapy.
Jimmy goes inside institutions to visit those who cannot come
outside to visit with Billy, the 36" cart horse. Both horses showed
no reaction to their first wearing of the bags. In both
applications, the horse is able to use the bag without interrupting
the encounter with the client.
The bag detaches quickly and unobtrusively, allowing it to be
emptied into a container and returned to service quickly when it is
convenient.
We consider Bun-Bags to be an integral part of our protocol
developments. Staff and clients are visibly relieved to know
that there can be no "accidents." The presence of the bags removes
a distraction from the setting, allowing us to concentrate on the
interaction with the client more completely.
Eventually, we hope to integrate the cart horse and client in
community walking and jogging activities on suburban streets. The
Bun-Bag permits these little horses to join dog walkers in the use
of those streets. Thanks for your timely delivery and
service.
