Alfie, the therapy pony has taken on his newest recruit-Isla, a feisty miniature donkey who has just started her therapy training-and doesn't always behave to the best of her ability. Whilst an unconventional animal to be picked for therapy sessions, Isla has only just turned two-and is picking up new skills all the time like resting her head next to bed-bound patients, getting her boots on and playing with a ball. Bringing a smile to the faces of the patients she now meets, Isla follows in Alfie's footsteps as she works in care homes, with end of life patients and those battling serious health issues.
