Our purpose is to use miniature horses to enhance the quality of life of those we serve. Individuals of all ages and limitations with physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral disabilities find comfort, empowerment, self-esteem, unconditional love, strength, therapeutic interaction & value while working with the miniature horses. Honey's Mini Therapy Adventures brings our therapy horses all over Central Florida. We visit Tampa General Hospital, Saint Leo University, Pasco Hernando State College, University of Central Florida. In addition to these organizations, smaller nursing homes and pediatric/adult rehabilitation centers weekly. Our visits also impact the staff; everyone from patients to guests seems to respond positively to the tiny horses. For example, in our most recent Tampa General Hospital visit, we were told numerous times, "This little, tiny horse just made my entire day; You have no idea how much I needed this." Another staff member states, "All her anxiety and stress washed away." If the tiny horse positively impacts someone's day that we crossed paths with in a hospital, then it's worth all the hard work that goes in behind the scenes to facilitate our therapy visits. So many different populations/backgrounds and ages can benefit from the unique service our handlers and tiny horses provide. These horses may be miniature, but their impact on the community we serve is tremendous.
