A very talented mini horse named Pearl loves to pay a visit to the sick and recovering patients at Shiner\u2019s Children\u2019s Southern California in Pasadena, California. She likes to brighten their day with her special talent! It\u2019s the cutest thing that people have ever seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This was a repeat visit for Pearl. She was back to see a favorite patient of hers at the hospital, and the mini horse greeted him with quite a show!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Whoever said that horses can\u2019t play the piano? That\u2019s just not true. Sure, I don\u2019t think Taylor Swift is going to be calling Pearl up to play in her touring band, but the horse really did delight the patient she saw.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Related: Mini Horse\u2019s Adorable Way of Letting Mom Know He Wants a Cookie Is So Cute<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/pethelpful.com\/horses\/hitching-my-miniature-horse-carts-and-carriages\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:miniature horse;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">miniature horse<\/a> showed up with a keyboard that was perfectly her size.
