Patrolling the streets of the Big Apple might seem like a mammoth task for some, but miniature horse Honor is taking it all in his stride.

Honor, the country’s tiniest police horse in training, was out patrolling the streets of Manhattan today before stopping in at a nearby cafe for a bite of carrot cake.

Miniature horse Honor is from Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses, a company which provides the tiny animals in order to comfort those suffering from stress or trauma.

As well as visiting sick children in hospital, the animals have also helped first responders to tragic incidents such as the Sandy Hook school massacre, who might be struggling with their emotions.

According to the company’s Facebook page, the horses work with over 40, 000 adults and children each year, bringing joy wherever they go.
