Chili Pepper and Daisy had a great day meeting military families at the 1st annual Somerset County Military Family Support Group (SCMFSG), which is a non-profit event. A special thank you to Fred Weber for inviting us. We hope our Chili Pepper Mini Horse Therapy donation basket for the raffle helped.

Following a good visit at the Loyalhanna Care Center today, Chili and Wicket had an ice cream break. Chili forgot all of his manners and was practically inhaling his ice cream while Wicket was afraid he'd be devoured as well and was desperately trying to get off the van!!

Thank you to Chili from Chili Pepper Mini Horse Therapy for stopping by! Our residents thoroughly enjoyed your visit!

Did you know that equine therapy has many benefits for seniors? Studies have shown that interacting with horses helps to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and provides a sense of companionship that decreases stress levels and promotes well-being.

"On the road again." Chili and Daisy got the chance to go out on a visit together last Thursday because we had some assistance from our volunteer in training!

This past Wednesday Chili had a special visit with the Focus Camp at the Greater Latrobe Junior High School. The kids made a great "thank you" poster to show their appreciation.

That's the birthday girl, Daisy, checking it out. Daisy turned 5 today. Happy birthday pretty lady!

A wonderful visit to the Woodcrest Senior Center in Scottdale. Daisy met a great group of staff members who take care of our elderly. It was a pleasure to help bring a little joy into their lives!

Do you remember this guy? Born on June 19th, 2023, Wink is officially called ‘House of Dragon’. Such a handsome boy and growing each and every day, he has a bright future! Happy birthday Wink 🥳!

Obi encourages Chili to take a few steps on the van, we might need to take him along with us to help out! What do you think?

Woah...Chili doesn't even recognize himself, Annette did a great job.

Also, doesn't the new wash stall look great? Sharon's husband, Gary, has been hard at work to provide us with all year access to clean horses! Maybe even too clean of horses, if there is such a thing.

You may have seen a new face around when Chili and Daisy visit with you, make sure to welcome Gracie to the team! We are super grateful to have you on board.

Gracie and Sharon made a visit to Harmon House in Mt. Pleasant the past week with Daisy! As you can see we kind of have a way of inaugurating our volunteers, it includes ice cream with the minis!

Welcome Gracie, Daisy appreciates you as well! Thank you Harmon House for supporting us as well! See you out there.

The views of Chili and Daisy enjoying a day of play at the Ligonier Country Market! While Sharon and Gracie are hard at work introducing, teaching, and giving hands on time for our ponies! It's always fun to do these events as they get us out of our routine and allow us a change of pace!

It was truly wonderful to meet everyone of you!

Our annual trip to St. Vincent college to wish the students and staff a good luck on finals and give some much needed relief to the stresses of this time! Everyone is always so enthusiastic to ask questions, share their smiles, and stunned when they see a mini horse on their campus!

This is something we love to do, so excited for this new season.
