They are the miniature ponies with the big hearts and they bring joy to care home residents in Bingley. Alfie and Spot are part of the Pat-a-Pony service and with their owner, Sue Dunne, pay regular visits to care homes and day centres in the local area.
"People absolutely love it is such a surprise when a pony walks in your living room. They love being made a fuss of and for people who don't have much contact with animals they are absolutely fantastic." Sue Dunne - Pat-a-Pony
Residents at the St Ives Disabled centre look forward to their visits.

A man's appeared at Carlisle Crown Court accused of causing the death of his partner by careless driving while over the drink drive limit.49 year old John Trevor Dent denied causing the death of Rose-Marie Valente, also 49 in February last year.
Dent spoke only to confirm his name and to plead not guilty during the brief appearance before judge Batty.
Ms Valente, a mother-of-five from Woodside Crescent, Bingley, West Yorks, was found dead on a road near to Dent's home at Swindale Grange in Brough on the morning of February 27th.
Dent was bailed on condition he stays at his home address.
He will appear at court again on March 4th when a trial date will be set.
Post Office collection point in Bingley closed down
From today people who need to pick up undelivered parcels and letters in Bingley will have to make their way to the Eldwick Post Office on Otley Road.
The decision has been criticised by locals, particularly those who use public transport, because it adds distance and costs to many people.
It's the first of three closures in the area, announced by Royal Mail earlier this year. Shipley and Thornton collection offices are also set to close early next year.
Royal Mail says it had to make the changes to improve services and the chosen sites were most suitable in terms of space.
This year's Bingley Music Live line-up has been boosted with the announcement of five additions to the weekend programme. Maverick Sabre, Delilah, The Idiot Bstard Band, StooShe *and Yes Sir Bos will be performing between August 31 and September 2.
They will join DJ Fresh, The Pigeon Detectives, Hard-Fi, **The Charlatans, Miles & Erica **and The Lancashire Hot Pots, for the popular three day event.
Detectives from the Homicide and Major Enquiries Team are investigating after police attended a house on Manor Drive, Bingley, yesterday morning following a phone call expressing concern for a woman there.
