Meet the therapy ponies helping kids feel calmer

Animals can have a big impact on how we feel.

According to a study from the University of Leeds, even watching videos or looking at pictures of cute animals can reduce stress levels by as much as 50%.

To find out more, Nina went to meet Dinky Ponies - four mini shetland therapy ponies who visit schools, hospitals, and care homes - to see how they can help people.

She spoke to lots of students who loved spending time with the ponies.

Maybe you'll feel much more relaxed after watching this video, too!
