  • We have visited two homes where children have degenerative muscular diseases. The children were clearly excited by the presence of the horses. 

Our Future Goals

Minis 2 Love hopes to be able to 

  •  

  • visit homes where families have suffered sudden loss of a loved one.

  • visit schools to see children who may be in crisis.

  • work with the police department to provide services to children who are in crisis.

  • go to the airport to act as a stress reliever for travelers and distraction to those who may have just said goodbye to a loved one.

  • work with our military bases to provide the same type of emotional support.

  •  

Walks Downtown Savannah
Taking the horses downtown provided lots of opportunity for desensitization training. A primary goal during training to get the horses basically bombproof, meaning they don't have any response to sudden noises or movements. They are exposed to sounds of trucks, cars, sirens. They meet all types of people and deal with crowds. Some businesses even allow us to come inside which puts us in close spaces and walking on different flooring. 

Photos from our visits are below and throughout the website. Enjoy!
