Our motto reflects what we try to give in every visit with our minis - "Sometimes we need someone to simply be there, not to fix anything or do anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about." When we visit children in medical care in the hospitals or Ronald McDonald Houses ... or seniors in memory care units, we know we cannot fix their situations but we can lift their spirits and hopefully leave them in a better state of mind. We launched our "Just Say WHOA To Bullying" program that focuses on character building and showing kindness in our schools. The program has been well received and we are looking forward to presenting this program to a lot more schools.

Our Needs

Mini Hooves of Love is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization in the DFW area that brings smiles to children and adults by bringing Miniature Therapy Horses to local children's hospitals, nursing homes, schools for children with disabilities, as well as hospice patients.

To continue our mission we need donations for:

-We were blessed to receive our much needed VAN but now we need your help to make it safe for our volunteer passengers and the horses! Items like two walls (one full and one half) and two additional seats for extra volunteers - looking at approx $5k
-Gift or Gas cards. There is a lot of travel involved.
-Printing supplies. Each horse has a trading card of each horse, brochures and business cards and now bookmarks for students.
-Stuffed horses that are small and kid safe given to the patients.
-Daily care expenses of feed, hay, farrier and vet care for our therapy horses.
- You can also find us on Amazon.com Wish List. You can also make purchases through iGive and they give us proceeds from it.
Every little bit helps our teams and our mission to bring joy to all we visit during their tough times in life.
