ALL ABOUT US
Mini-Owner Thank You - our mini-owners have dedicated two to four weekends a month to attend visits throughout our community - there are so many facilities that want us to come - 2007-2019 when COVID hit. Please see status below.
Julia and Mom Betty - joined us in 2013 from a referral from Dr. Joyce at Austin Equine. We are so glad she found and joined us. Julia handles all aspects of her minis as her mom Betty is our honorary member at 93. We call her our supervisor :) .. Julia does our one weekday visiti monthly, and most of our night events and UT Austin Stress day. She also does Saturday visits with the team and is on the board of directors. She has 6 working minis - B.B. (Betty's Boy), Emily, Fiona, Jooney Bell, Mini Pearl and Wiggins . Meet them on our Meet the Minis page.
Volunteers are the lifeline of Minis and Friends. We
work in 2 people teams, a front end, and a back end using our theory of working with trained miniature horses, called Equine Guided Interactions (EGI).
One must take a hands-on training class scheduled
bi-monthly. We usually work on Saturday mornings, giving you back the afternoon. We do require
attending 1-2 visits per month when scheduled.
Age Limitations:
-
16 and up with parent
-
70+ we do have volunteer activities, just not a mini-handler
