Sassy the miniature horse brings Northlanders happiness where ever she trots.
The 5-month-old, 23-inch horse had a sociable day on Friday stopping in at the Jane Mander Retirement Village and the Northern Advocate office.
Fiona Pascoe, president of the Northland Miniature Horse Club, said seeing the smiles on people's faces when they saw Sassy made her day.
"We went to Jane Mander and visited the dementia unit. The old people just loved her, they said how in the old days they could remember riding horses to school," she said.
As part of NZME Wellness Week, Sassy also visited the Northern Advocate office and brightened up the morning.
