Magic Named By TIME/CNN one of HISTORY’S TEN MOST COURAGEOUS ANIMALS
My name is Magic and I am a little therapy horse.
On March 23, 2011 I was named by TIME /CNN one of HISTORY’S TEN MOST COURAGEOUS ANIMALS.
“Animals have often shown bravery in extraordinary circumstances. TIME takes a look at some of history’s most courageous animals.”
The Top 10 Heroic Animals include Bucephalus, the famed steed of Alexander the Great, Togo the sled dog who brought serum to save Nome when diphtheria broke out in 1925, Stubby the WWI hero war dog who became a lifetime member of the American Legion and later became Georgetown University’s mascot, Simon the British cat known for his heroic voyage down China’s Yangtze River (his obituary appeared in TIME magazine in 1949), a heroic dog in Japan, Cher Ami, a pigeon that flew messages in France during World War I, leading to the rescue of 194 soldiers in Major Charles Whittlesey’s ”Lost Battalion”, New Zealand’s Moko the dolphin and a miniature therapy horse named Magic from Florida.
I was also selected THE MOST HEROIC PET IN AMERICA by AARP and included in NEWSWEEK/Daily Beast’s MOST HEROIC ANIMALS OF 2010. My story has traveled around the world from the United Kingdom to New Zealand, Argentina to Pakistan, the Soviet Union to Thailand, Canada to South Korea.
I work inside hospitals, assisted care programs, programs for Alzheimer’s patients, group homes and with patients in hospice care. I also work with sheriff’s officers in high crime neighborhoods as part of a community outreach program and help children with developmental delays and at risk and abused children. From wearing a tuxedo to a magical tea party for a child with a life ending illness to working with autistic children, I bring my special love where it is needed most.
Join me on my adventures with my little equine friends from Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses.
