Stressed-out university students have been given help relaxing from the pressure of exams - with therapy donkeys
Louise Peeters, from Dyfi Donkeys in nearby Machynlleth, says students benefit greatly from petting the animals for fifteen minutes each.
She said: "It gives students an opportunity to relax and recharge between revision and exams.
"There's no formal charge, just a donation if students want to make one.''

Therapy sessions on and off-site can be organised for anyone who needs one.
