Personal ponies, National

A unique non-profit organization dedicated to providing children with special needs a tiny Shetland Pony to love and care for --completely without charge.

Our mission is to make MAGIC in children's lives, to bring smiles and joy in a most unusual way. We believe (and we've seen it happen over and over again!) that the lives of children with special needs are immeasurably enriched by having a small equine companion to love and care for--so this is what we do! Our ponies are uniquely suited in temperament and size to small children, and we provide them to families completely without charge--our version of the Velveteen Rabbit.
