Therapy ponies visit CVG airport

Many airports have therapy dog programs in the terminals. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) may be the first to have a therapy horse program.

At first glance, I thought this was a joke.

But on second look, it’s real. And it makes sense.

In the spirit of the therapy dogs that are showing up at airports nationwide to ease the journey for travelers, earlier this week Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) invited a local farm to begin bringing some miniature-therapy horses to the airport.

It’s Kentucky Derby season, so for the first visit the horses showed up in the main terminal dressed in Derby attire.

They’ll be back – in ‘street clothes’ twice a month.
