"Keep up the wonderful work you do.  I often tell people that Lassie was the first therapy dog--the first to be allowed in hospitals more than 50 years ago!

Your Reading Is Magic program and volunteers are heroes every time they walk into a school or library.  Using little miniature horses to inspire young children to read is most creative.  Congratulations on your wonderful charity, spirit and service to your community.

 Our very tiny, show quality miniature horses bring their special love where it is needed most and make memories everyday.

 

Gentle Carousel Therapy Horses work inside hospitals, schools, assisted care programs, programs for Alzheimer patients, group homes and with patients in hospice care.  They also work with adults and children with disabilities and at risk and abused children.

 

      Gentle Carousel Therapy Horses grant wishes, inspire laughter and bring a little magic into the world.

 

When a Gentle Carousel Therapy Horse arrives look for blue eyes and "fairy dust" sparkles...

 

  ...and some magical moments.
