While this might look like horseplay, Peyo the stallion is carrying out an important role in comforting cancer patients at Calais Hospital. Once a dressage competitor, the 15-year-old horse now spends his time doing rounds at the hospital's palliative care centre often staying with sick people until the end. Peyo and his trainer, Hassen Bouchakour, work with Les Sabots du Coeur, an organisation devoted to therapy, and with scientists who are studying Peyo’s ability to reduce patients’ anxiety and comfort people in pain. Bouchakour says; "With Peyo, we try to recreate life at the end of life, in order to fight, and create an energy to accompany families and caregiver". The horse tells his trainer which room he wants to enter next by stopping or raising his leg. Hassen and Peyo don’t only provide comfort to patients. In tough situations the hospital staff are very happy to see them around. Photos: Jeremy Lempin/Divergence
