Staff at Royal Albert Edward Infirmary in Wigan granted Sheila Marsh's last wish, by arranging a visit from two of her horses on Monday afternoon.

God bless you.
They cheer my heart..they love me no matter what kind of day I've had, or they've had...
Had some patients that dearly missed their dogs..and I helped it happen that they could see them.
Was better medicine than anyone could give them....Just had to dodge the hospital "police"....HAHAHA!!!
Horses love their horse families and their humans too. Very special, intelligent, beautiful animals...
I hope that when I’m moving on, I have someone as thoughtful as you looking after me.
I’ve owned or been involved with animals all my life, and some of my most important experiences and life-lessons have taken place because of those animals. They ARE as important as people, to many of us.
God Bless your good heart!
