Here’s what our client Hugo says about Aldi: “I love giving Aldi kisses after our session. She is so soft and I like how she breathes on my face.”

This version is from the Horse Bio page to keep things easier for the first draft: Aldi is a Fjord mare, arriving at NCEFT in 2020. She came all the way from British Columbia where she spent many years participating in therapy, mental health, and driving programs. Her superpower is stopping! This is ideal for our physical therapy clients who need help with balance reactions. Aldi is very sweet and loves attention. At the end of every session, she sends off her clients with a gentle sniff as if to say, “So long!”

Aldi’s requires regular supplementation to support her thyroid, blah blah.
