Touched a Horse Badge
touched a horse today! 🐴
Touching grass is entry level. You touched a horse — a large, warm, opinionated animal that does not care about your timeline. The Touched a Horse badge is for anyone who logged off and went outside on hard mode: a stable visit, a trail ride, or one brave pat on the nose. Equine-assisted therapy research says petting a horse lowers cortisol, heart rate, and blood pressure, which is more than grass has ever done for you.
Did you know?
Studies on equine-assisted therapy show that grooming or petting a horse can lower cortisol, heart rate, and blood pressure — so touching a horse is arguably the scientifically superior version of touching grass.
