July’s Featured Charity: Mini Hooves Of Love

The mission of the Mini Hooves Of Love is to to give people the opportunity to interact with a miniature horse to enhance their quality of life. Some of the benefits of Pet Therapy are that it can reduce blood pressure, reduce heart rate, and encourages socialization.  Most people can relate to horses and people in nursing homes and assisted living housing communities see them as transportation, or their work companion.  They see them with fond memories and relate to feelings of freedom and strength. 

The Mini Hooves of Love team are available to visit Nursing Homes, Hospitals, Children’s Hospitals, Shelters and Hospices in Texas.

On Facebook? Check them out here:

There are many ways you can help support their cause.  They are currently looking for Sewing and Crocheting help to make stuffed ponies to pass out to the children they visit.

They also invite crocheters, knitters, and quilters from around the world to make and donate hats (all sizes), light weight scarves, and lap size blankets. These items will go to patients, of all ages, to help keep them cozy and feeling loved. One small item can make a big difference to these patients!
