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.
