It was an exciting weekend for Sweet Manes. Two of my favorite horse projects collided and WE are going to be a part of it!

In 2013 I found my love for therapy minis when I discovered the Half Pint Horse Foundation. During this same time I had started volunteering at an amazing organization that was just creating a retirement ranch for service horses-This Old Horse. My dad had recently passed away and his love for horses was tugging at my heart. Never did I dream that these two organizations would come together one day. They both helped to calm my heart when I was missing my dad.

After working with the minis of the Half Pint Horse Foundation-I purchased minis of my own to work on the eastern side of the Twin Cities. I stayed involved with This Old Horse by bringing the minis to the Run for the Roses 5K or other events that the horses of TOH were just too big.

Fast forward to March 1st, 2017 when HPHF donated their horses to This Old Horse and a new vision was born! Sweet Manes and The Four Winds (formerly HPHF) are joining together to be one big team called-what else??- "This Little Horse!" https://www.thislittlehorse.org/

Today we visited the Tractor Supply store in Inver Grove Heights and all of the boys got along!! If you know of any senior homes, libraries, or schools that would like a visit please sign up on the This Little Horse website. If you would like to volunteer with This Old Horse or This Little Horse - sign up! Or if you'd like to sponsor a horse or help support a visit-yep you can sign up for that too!

And join us at the Run for the Roses on May 6th! Meet all of the minis and visit Wishbone Ranch!!
