Equine Assisted Therapy
Can Change Lives.
Wee Whinnies Therapeutic Minis is a donation funded organization.
Our mission is to help children with special needs and seniors improve their physical and emotional well-being through one-on-one interaction with our miniature horses.
Through equine therapy, participants can improve general quality of life:
- Reduce depression, through the release of dopamine and serotonin in the brain.
- Stronger connections to the physical world, as well as to other people.
- A decrease in loneliness, boredom, and increased independence.
- An increase in muscle strength, joint mobility, and balance, as well as coordination.
- Improved perceptual, social and communication skills.
- Lower stress, blood pressure, and heart rate.
