What is My Little Horse Listener?

We believe equines can make a difference.

Treat them with kindness, and miniature horses will give you their hearts in return! Miniature equines have a unique ability to be patient, comforting, and playful companions. They show children and teens how to have and be a friend.

The equines at My Little Horse Listener accept us as we are, hearing pain, sensing struggles, and helping us discover the best within ourselves.

Because everyone deserves to be heard.

Our Mission

What do we do?

Build

Participants build relationships with our miniature equines by fostering the skills required to maintain healthy relationships.

Grow

We witness and encourage the personal and interpersonal growth of our participants. This may be a growth of self-esteem, awareness, confidence, self-regulation, or simply, the joy of being present.
