Minis and Friends

Mighty Equines in Small Packages

Minis and Friends is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are a group of caring people and horse lovers dedicated to sharing the love and spirit of miniature horses to those who need special, tender care. Our organization was specially created by a group of friends who want to share this exciting equine experience with you.


Our mission is dedicated to bringing our "mini ambassadors" to the community by creating an exceptional equine experience to all kinds of eldercare, schools, medical facilities, special need camps, community and public events. We want to share their gift of producing smiles to those who need a bit of sunshine, or just to be a special friend for that moment - we're just a call or email away!




Minis and Friends has teamed up with Macy's Shop for a Cause event. The event is a unique way to help the minis by donating $5.00 for a Macy's Shop for a Cause shopping pass. By donating for a $5 coupon booklet from Minis and Friends and shopping online at Macys.com or in any of their stores on Saturday, September 20, you will be helping out our organization while getting some fabulous new duds. All proceeds from our booklet sales go directly to Minis and Friends. For more information, click here.

"When it was time to go, all of the mothers were very grateful to us for coming. I've never had this feeling of such satisfaction before. I've always been actively trying to raise money for various places, but it is interacting with the people you're helping that makes you feel so good." - Bonnie Devany, on VinCare visit
