Here at Mini-Blessings Farm it is our sincere desire to share the healing power of horses; with the old, the young, the big, the small, and most importantly with anyone in need of healing. As a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization, operating in Chaffee County, Mini-Blessings provides equine guided interactions and equine assisted learning to those within the Central Colorado region. With a herd of seven miniature horses and one full size standard horse, we are always willing and eager to help the healing begin!
Since our inception in November of 2009, the miniature horses have visited elementary schools, participated in presentations at summer library programs, made regular visits to various elder care facilities, as well as visited other facilities around Buena Vista, Salida and Leadville. Visitors to our on site facility have a chance to participate in equine guided interactions and equine assisted learning within a supervised environment. They can interact with the horses by leading, brushing, going through an agility course, driving miniature-drawn carts, or enjoying the serenity of the quarter-mile "Mini-Trail". Mini-Blessings has been blessed to have such kind spirited horses to work with a number of special needs children and their physical, or occupational therapists. The results have been miraculous and feed our mission! We have also worked with the Buena Vista School District and the Boys and Girls Club, offering equine assisted learning to preschool, elementary and middle school students. We have been very fortunate to have high school students from Chaffee County High School serve as mentors for the younger students visiting Mini-Blessings. We always welcome visitors to the farm by appointment.
