Personal Ponies is a not for profit charity that works with children with special needs as well as seniors and our tiny little therapy ponies! They bring much love, comfort and joy to all! We are currently in need of weekly volunteers who would be responsible for pony care. Mucking 1 1/2 stalls, refilling water, bringing ponies in for dinner etc. No experience needed...I will train! This is a weekly commitment. Pony care volunteers are also welcome to become handlers on pony trips and help facilitate the magic!
Please email me asap at personalponiesfl@aol.com and tell me a little about yourself.

Mission Statement
Florida Personal Ponies, Ltd., is to offer a unique and empowering experience to special needs children and adults through direct interaction with our gentle and patient therapeutic miniature Shetland ponies, completely free of charge. Every child/adult can participate in his/her own unique way with emphasis on their abilities not their disabilities! We believe their lives will be immeasurably enriched by this experience!
Description
In order to accomplish our mission, we:
*Provide private sessions (One on One Therapeutic Pony Time) with our clients at our South Florida locations
* Provide visits with our ponies to schools (With ESE programs), hospitals, rehabilitation centers, etc. throughout South Florida.
* Encourage and facilitate loving, trusting relationships between our ponies and the children/adults with whom they interact.
* Adapt our sessions to the specific capabilities and needs of each child/adult we serve, emphasizing what they can do, rather than what they cannot do, building an "I CAN" attitude!
* Every child/adult can participate in his/her very own unique way!
