When we're in the mood for a good old-fashioned happy-cry, we know we can always turn to these two organizations to give us what we need. Both Hearts & Hooves and Minis and Friends specialize in training mini horses, as therapy animals then bringing them into the lives of children, adolescents, adults, and elders, some with illnesses, disabilities, or emotional and behavior issues. These little horses offer solace and healing for lonely hearts and hurting bodies, and help people experience and learn compassion, empathy, and love.
