Twice a month a few of the farm's 34 horses make their way to the airport to connect with children and relieve the airport stresses of adults.
"It's just to ease anxiety levels, put smiles on faces. Clearly that's working," the airport's senior manager of customer relations, Wendi Orlando, told NPR. "When you look at the passengers walking by, it just never gets old. They love seeing the horses."
