Junior, a unique 12-year-old horse who can paint and perform tricks, trotted into Harbor View home in Michigan this weekend and performed some painting tricks for residents
SAULT STE. MARIE, MICH. - Harbor View Assisted Living Center in Detour Village, Mich. has been open for a couple of years now. It's a quiet facility with a wonderful view of the harbour and Drummond Island to the east.This past Saturday, they mixed things up just a little bit. They brought in a horse. But not just any horse. This one can paint and perform tricks.
Nancy Bailey, and her 12-year-old horse Junior trotted into Harbor View with staff, residents and visitors looking on in awe. Junior autographed a book that Bailey authored, Clifford of Drummond Island. He also painted some ornaments for the residents. Bailey uses safe water colours for Junior to paint.
"Junior is the understudy of Clifford. Clifford was a horse I had for years. Junior is actually his great nephew," Bailey said.The residents took it all in stride, though. "They know what to do. The first thing they do is inhale that particular scent that a horse has. You can see that it has taken them right back. So many of them have a history with horses," Bailey added."I think it's okay! It's okay for him to come in here! I don't see him messing up the floor yet! Not yet anyway," Barbara chuckled.David Gray owned the land for about four years before donating the land.
