Pearl and I visited with a little girl staying at Pasadena Ronald McDonald House that was going through critical procedures and had lost a leg to cancer. We have so many incredible experiences with the children and their families, and I’d like to share a few. The children are always excited to spend time with our tiny horses.

Mini Therapy Horses are regular visitors at Ronald McDonald House East Hollywood and Pasadena where the families of children undergoing treatment for cancer and other critical medical procedures in nearby hospitals, get to stay free or at low cost. I heard a few days after our visit Jerry passed peacefully and I felt honored to have Pearl help him on his way. They were communicating in their own language. Jerry talked to Pearl as he went in and out of consciousness while stroking her. I went within days to visit Jerry with Pearl and it brought all the nurses to tears. Jerry had been taken in by a family on a farm in Germany and his fondest memories were of the horses he connected with as a frightened child. He had met Pear when he was being in the Greater LA Veterans Hospital and it really touched his heart. She had a terminal patient, Jerry, that requested to see my therapy horse Pearl as his last wish. We love the veterans and they love our horses! One of the many heartfelt interactions that has inspired me was when I received a Last Wish request from the head nurse of the VA Hospice in North Hills, CA. We’ve been committed to weekly visits in this hospital for over 8 years. The horses comfort patients and staff in The Greater Los Angeles Veterans Hospital, the psychiatric wards, the Intensive Care Unit and VA Hospice. We have a special literacy program with Lieutenant Jennifer Seetoo bringing the minis to schools and LA County Public Libraries. They are registered with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Civilian Volunteer Program, who can be called on at a moment’s notice 24/7 and are available for community outreach events like National Night Out, Emergency Preparedness events and LASD open houses. Our specialty is helping people in crisis.Īll of our tiny mares have a busy schedule. Our little horse angels provide emotional, physical and positive mental benefits to those they visit with the help of our team of volunteers. Our mission is to bring hope, comfort and joy to children and adults in need with our 7 highly trained miniature therapy horses. Mini Therapy Horses is an all volunteer nonprofit charity.
