Hucknall Woman Finds Dream Job as Horse Therapist

DWP - 11th December 2007

Penny Palmer had always loved horses - but she never thought she'd turn her passion into a job until she went to Bulwell Jobcentre Plus. There she met Jane Simpson, a New Deal for Lone Parents Adviser. Jane helped Penny turn her dream into reality. "After nine years of caring for my five children, I thought it was time to do something for me," Penny explained. "I believe I am the only equine therapist in the country, offering aromatherapy, manipulation and massage, as well as herbal remedies to treat horses. "Since I set up my own business - Equine MOT - in July I've treated over 100 horses. One of the most unusual ones was a horse who refused to turn left.

Just dont know what to say! Sadly this isnt a spoof press release.
