    Gracie

    REGISTERED WITH PET PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL™

    Gracie was born 4/30/2011. We purchased Gracie and her mother, Maggie, in the fall of 2016 as they both showed potential for being candidates for our program. They both visited many schools and assisted care facilities together and were a wonderful team. We sadly had to say goodbye to Maggie, but Gracie is still a big part of our program. Gracie loves to play her “keyboard” and play “ball” with people.

    Spirit

    REGISTERED WITH PET PARTNERS INTERNATIONAL™

    Spirit was rescued during a snowstorm the winter of 2016. She and Dakota came here later that year and started their training. It took several years of work to get Spirit ready for outreaches as she truly lived up to her name! We don’t know her true age, but the vet believes she is the same age as Gracie. Spirit loves to go on outreaches and meet people. She has a way of locating the doors to buildings and wants to lead us in to greet everyone. Spirit also loves to demonstrate her “keyboard” playing abilities and enjoys pushing her ball to people.

    Dakota

    RESIDENT TRICKSTER AT THE FARM

    Dakota meaning “friend,” is Spirit’s son, and was born in 2015. He is our “trick” mini. Dakota loves to show off his tricks when people come to the farm. He “fetches” and squeaks his rubber chicken toy, plays bells and counts. He seems to enjoy “painting” with us and keeps us all entertained.

  • Two miniature horses standing on dirt ground inside a barn or enclosed area.

    Charlie & Smokey

    arrived here in November of 2024 and have just begun their training. Both have wonderful temperaments and are very cute! Our vet saw them and thought they might need a “job,” and we brought them here. These two were born in 2015 (Charlie) and 2016 (Smokey.) 

  • A brown and white miniature horse wearing red reindeer antlers on its head and a teal halter, standing on snow-covered ground outdoors with a snow-covered landscape and a fence in the background.

    Scout

    “PAS Scoutin’ For A Little Trouble” was purchased from a woman in Markesan, Wisconsin as she was downsizing her herd. She thought “Mini Scout” would be good for a program like ours as she had been to shows, was in a parade and had visited an assisted care facility. She loves to go on long walks and has begun her training here to be included in our outreach program. Her birthday is 5/18/2017.
