Miniature horses: not your typical therapy animal.
The horses and volunteers of Little Blessings bring smiles, laughter, and joy to those most in need in the Wichita metro area and other surrounding communities.
The Benefits
-
Physical
Miniature horses can help people improve their motor, tactile, and physical skills. During visits, people have the opportunity to pet the horses along with brushing them.
-
Emotional
Our horses provide people emotional support as they make people feel at ease, build trust, and allow for a sense of companionship. They always know how to put a smile on people’s faces and bring joy to their day.
-
Social
Being present with our horses allows people to enter a social environment that bring people together to laugh, share stories, and connect while enjoying miniature horses.
Where can the horses go?
The horses of Little Blessings visit hospitals, nursing homes, cancer centers, grief counseling centers, memory care facilities, assisted living facilities, rehab facilities, churches, schools, and many other settings in Sedgwick and Butler County. Please contact us to see if we can come to you!
