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.


Minis and Friends is dedicated to bringing our mobile herd of trained miniature horses to visit and interact with people of all ages who may be suffering mentally, physically or emotionally. Our unique programs tailor activities for children with disabilities, at-risk youth, individuals in transition and elder adults to improve their motor skills, ability to connect, tactile response, use of senses and spirits through interaction with miniature horses.

Our trainees from Buena Vista, Colorado worked hard in the Mini Manners 101 class, visited with Ride On Rock in Georgetown, participated in a very special visit with the Austin Children's Shelter and worked on the How To's for working with people of all ages with special needs and start-up of a 501(c)(3).
