🐴💕🇺🇸Girl Time!
Fancy enjoyed time with two wonderful women veterans and the Regional Director and Constituent Services Representative from our Congressman’s office. We are grateful to these women for their service and to our congressional staff for taking time to connect with us. Fancy always loves making new friends!💕🇺🇸🐴 Pratima Strong

❤️🇺🇸🐴Our veterans enjoyed a hands on Natural Horsemanship session with trainer Stephanie Biernbaum from Pear Tree Ranch. Stephanie demonstrated techniques for establishing personal space, gently asking horses to respect those boundaries, and properly backing a horse. Fancy, Sammy and Fabio were amazing, and everyone had the opportunity to learn more about clear communication, trust, and working safely with our horses. Stephanie, your time and generosity means so much to us! Thank you for investing so much care and time in our veterans and horses. We deeply appreciate you! ❤️🤍💙

🐴💙FABIO IS BACK!💙🐴
A special thank you to trainer, Shaun Beardsley, of Liberty Pines Natural Horsemanship for her generous time she put into training our little Fabio to become a therapy mini. Fancy and Sammy are already certified therapy horses. Fabio is a rescue horse we rescued, and watching him prepare for such special work makes his journey more meaningful. We’re so proud of his progress and he’s working hard towards his certification. From finding a home to finding a purpose, he too is getting ready to heal hearts! 💕

🐴🇺🇸Fancy has some exciting news! Over 75 books have sold on Amazon in the past month! With Veterans Day coming up, it’s a wonderful time to send a copy to your favorite veteran or a special child in your life! Through Fancy’s story, children learn what a veteran is how therapy animals bring comfort. We would love to see Fancy’s book in classrooms and libraries in Marion County and other school districts. If you know a teacher or school district who could help us connect, please tag them or send us a message.

🐴❤️A heartfelt thank-you to Stephanie Biernbaum for a wonderful demonstration and group lesson with our miniature horses! Stephanie introduced our veterans to the basic skills of natural horsemanship and horse psychology, helping them better understand how horses think, communicate, and learn. We’re so grateful for her time, patience, and knowledge as our veterans continue building trust and confidence with our minis and eventually working with our quarter horses. We hope to offer these lessons weekly and welcome many more of our veterans who are eager to learn and deepen their connection with our horses.🐴❤️
🇺🇸 If you would like to help our veterans continue their education, please contact me or visit our website .org for donation information. Your support can help make these ongoing learning opportunities possible for so many veterans who want to learn and participate. Thank you, Stephanie Biernbaum, for all the time you spent with us and being part of our journey at Ponies for Patriots & Pint Size Therapy! 🇺🇸 Pear Tree Ranch Ponies for Patriots & Pint Size Therapy Shaun Beardsley See less

As we reflect on all the places we've been and the lives our little horses have touched this year, we want to take time to recognize the special businesses who have supported us and believed in our mission along the way. ❤️ We are so incredibly grateful to Seminole Feed for their generosity, outstanding products, and continued support of our hardworking little therapy horses! Keeping our horses healthy and feeling their very best is so important, especially with their busy schedules visiting veterans, assisted living communities, memory care facilities, and hospice patients. Seminole Feed premium-quality nutrition helps us give our horses the care they deserve so they can continue doing the work they love! 🐴💕There is something especially meaningful about having a respected local company like Seminole Feed believe in what our little nonprofit is doing. Their support means so much more than providing quality feed. It means they believe in the difference our little horses are making in the lives of others!! Olivia Mitchell Miriam González
