Mini Blessings Therapy Horses

Birch Tree, Missouri

Cause Description:
Mini Blessings Therapy Horses is a 501(c) 3 non-profit charity dedicated to bringing our trained & certified miniatures to visit and interact with people of all ages who may be suffering mentally, physically or emotionally. Our unique programs are tailored to provide activities for individuals in need. Our target audience includes at-risk youths, children who are grieving the loss of a parent or sibling, veterans suffering from PTSD as well as other physical or emotional trauma, and individuals in “end-of-life” transition. These activities are designed improve the ability to connect, stimulate tactile response, enhance motor skills, encourage use of the senses, and generally lift spirits through interactive therapy with miniature horses. We offer workshops at the local colleges teaching about the benefits of equine assisted therapy and activities using miniature horses. We also have a reading program for 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. Children get to practice their reading skills, by reading their favorite stories to the Minis. Mini Blessings was founded as a way to bring joy to people and share my love for these amazing little horses. I wanted to have a positive impact our community, and perhaps leave a legacy behind in the process! I am extremely excited to say that this idea has taken off and we receive calls/e-mails daily to inquire about our program. We currently visit 53 different facilities annually, most of them monthly!!! With an average of 100 beds per facility that’s a lot of smiling faces!
