OUR MINIS
Pua-Piper
Comfort
She's our #1 cuddle bug! We met Pua-Piper when she was 3 months old (still at her mom's side), and she captured our hearts. Our first true love! Her kind eyes serve as a gateway into the depths of her sweet, warm, and incredibly cute soul.
Poi'nelopi
Comfort
She's our #1 glam girl! She may sport buttons and bows, but she comes by her charm and gentleness naturally. Her flash grabs your attention, but her personality speaks volumes to your heart. She quietly enjoys her job, and we adore her.
Tutu Roxy-roo
Comfort
She's our all-around #1. At 24 years, she's our matriarch!! A rock solid sweetie pie, she's also fluffy, fun, and a veteran when it comes to comforting! She's been there, done that, and wants to do more! Everyone loves Roxy!!
Pepe
Comfort -- in training
He's our #1 brave adventurer! Full of panache, his personality packs a punch! He's determined and not afraid to lead the way! Barn cat drinking from his water bucket — no worries, he'll march over and stop the nonsense.
Pickles
Comfort -- in training
He's our #1 rascal. The smallest and youngest. He's happy-go-lucky with a twinkle in his eye. He's a natural blend of the others. We have a few tricks up our sleeve and they just might become part of his repertoire.
THE MISSION
We aspire to provide comfort and enhance the health and well-being of people facing challenges (medical or otherwise) through community outreach and interaction with miniature horses.
