A senior citizen with tremors experienced a magical few moments when she stopped shaking while petting a sweet-tempered therapy pony.
Mary, who shakes uncontrollably, was given the chance to pet a pony called Gracie by Sarah Woodland, who runs Dinky Ponies, a team of therapy ponies that visits care homes, children's homes, hospitals, and schools in the UK.
Mary was initially uneasy about petting Gracie for fear of scaring or hurting the animal. However, after some reassurance from Sarah, she began stroking the pony's head. The result was heartwarming.
Watch the video above to see Mary and Gracie share a miraculous exchange
