Therapy Thursday: Meet Amos, the Therapy Horse!


On Therapy Thursday, we highlight other Therapy Animals and the services they provide.

Carrots or kisses? Amos the Wonder Horse likes them both.

Amos is a miniature registered therapy horse who visited the kids at All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine on Monday and scored a few kisses from Ellie while Zoie looked on. At just a little more than three feet tall Amos is the perfect size for these kids.

Amos is no ordinary horse. Standing only three feet tall, this tiny equine is known world-wide for bringing smiles everywhere he goes. His basketball skills have made him an international star, but it’s his therapy visits that touch the hearts of so many.

Amos is also the first and only miniature therapy horse to have his own bullying prevention program – Just Say Whoa™ to Bullying. This innovative program utilizes animal-assisted activities to help teach children.
