Honey's Mini Therapy Adventures

Trained Mini therapy horses that visit Central FL Hospitals, schools, behavioral health, & more🚀🍯🥷
(11)

Our purpose is to use miniature horses to enhance the quality of life of those we serve. Individuals of all ages and limitations with physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioral disabilities find comfort, empowerment, self-esteem, unconditional love, strength, therapeutic interaction & value while working with the miniature horses. Honey's Mini Therapy Adventures brings our therapy horses all ov

er Central Florida. We visit Tampa General Hospital, Saint Leo University, Pasco Hernando State College, University of Central Florida. In addition to these organizations, smaller nursing homes and pediatric/adult rehabilitation centers weekly. Our visits also impact the staff; everyone from patients to guests seems to respond positively to the tiny horses. For example, in our most recent Tampa General Hospital visit, we were told numerous times, "This little, tiny horse just made my entire day; You have no idea how much I needed this." Another staff member states, "All her anxiety and stress washed away." If the tiny horse positively impacts someone's day that we crossed paths with in a hospital, then it's worth all the hard work that goes in behind the scenes to facilitate our therapy visits. So many different populations/backgrounds and ages can benefit from the unique service our handlers and tiny horses provide. These horses may be miniature, but their impact on the community we serve is tremendous.

Honey 🍯 had the wonderful opportunity to visit an ABA Therapy program in Orlando, bringing joy and therapeutic benefits to numerous children on the autism spectrum. Honey’s gentle nature and incredible calmness allowed the children to experience the magic of equine therapy, even as they exhibited stimming behaviors or sudden movements. It was heartwarming to see the children connect with Honey and gain comfort and confidence through her presence.

We were also honored to have the esteemed Mary Rose Holmes join us for this special visit, making the day even more memorable. Watching the children light up with smiles and engage with Honey was a beautiful reminder of the powerful impact of our therapy program.

Our Start

Hello everyone!

Meet our miniature therapy team, Honey and Mary Rose Gullet! We began this journey in March of 2018. A year later, we are now officially a 501(c)3 organization. This has been one of the most incredible, touching journeys I have ever had the privilege of being a part of. We are so thankful the stars aligned, we are doing something so incredible and bringing so much love, smiles, & happiness to so many people.

First, a little about how we stumbled on this amazing gift we are so privileged to be able to share with everyone….

As many of the best things that happen in life do, an opportunity presented itself we didn’t see coming; it was pure fate. Originally, we got Honey as a FFA project for our children; and it didn’t take long to notice what an amazing horse she was. Being somewhat familiar with equine therapy horses, we knew she would be a great fit! We are a qualified team, able to visit nursing homes, schools, veterans facilities, children's hospitals and so much more! It is incredible seeing the joy, happiness and love that everyone experiences while spending time with Honey.

We have big plans to continue bringing as much happiness and joy as possible, to as many as we can. However, we need a small jump-start to our journey. We are starting a non-profit 501(c)(3) for Honey called Honey's Mini Therapy Adventures, and we believe that with a bit of help we can do some incredible things.

Words of wisdom….

"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart" -Winnie the Pooh

"If there ever is tomorrow when we are not together. There is something you must always remember; You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But, the most important thing is, even if we are apart, I'll always be with you." -Winnie the Pooh
