Animals and books are two things that inspire children. Check out my friend's books Barnyard Miracles about miracles she saw while working with animals on her ranch. My bonus daughter loved them!!! You can meet the author in person at the Saratoga Springs or Eagle Mountain Utah Farmers markets. Misty Shores Muhlestein

May means weekend birthday parties and our FIRST VISIT to an assisted living facility in Salt Lake City. Our therapy animal visits are a community service we provide free of charge. If you want to help make these visits possible please spread the word about our affordable Birthday party packages! Post about a good experience you’ve had with our minis. You aren’t just advertising a birthday party service, you’re helping me fund a dream to help people in hospitals and assisted living facilities have their days brightened by visits from a mini. Spread the word! Sunshine means we’re back in business!!!

We drove an hour and a half to swap our big cart for a smaller one (we decided this would be better for Ziggy), and received excellent instruction from Nichole at Silver Star Equestrian Center. She was an amazing teacher and helped increase our skills and confidence. Ziggy is AMAZING and we will share more pics and videos of our experience there soon. For now it’s time to rest after a full day of learning.

It’s taken me 3 months to be able to write this post. We all grieve differently. My little family lost our beloved American Akita, Kira this last October. She was the first animal that woke me up and made me realize how deeply they can heal our lives. We had her for 9 years. She loved us, protected us, comforted us… and I refuse to even think that this life is the end of it. I know we’ll be with her in heaven someday. She was blind here on earth but now I know she sees so much more clearly than the rest of us. There are no words good enough to describe our families love for her. We love you, Kira! Save a place for us in heaven.❤️💔

My smallest horse, Strider, will be taking his therapy horse certification test in a few months. He will be trained to go into hospitals and assisted living facilities to give some happy moments to those who need it most. As part of his testing I need to submit video of him walking up a few stairs. We have a couple in our backyard that he goes up easily but I’m hoping for another option as well. Also if anyone knows of a public building that I can enter for training purposes to get him used to more indoor environments that would be really helpful! He will have on clean rubber boots so there will be no damage to any surfaces. Please leave a comment or send me a message if you have any ideas that could help me accomplish his training. Thank you!

A beautiful Christmas stroll with a good friend, our minis, some bells and Christmas songs= a great way to make lasting memories. We hoe you all had a Merry Christmas!❤️🎄⭐️

Look up and celebrate the King of heaven and earth. Joy to the world, the Lord has come!

The horses are cozy in the barn and Ruby is cozy on the couch on this blustery first of December. Our animals fill us with so much warmth and love, and we are grateful for opportunities to share that with you.

We had so much fun helping this group of 11/12 year olds celebrate their friends birthday! Ziggy and Strider are such good boys. We are beyond grateful for the smiles they put on kids faces.❤️🙏🎉

11/19/2022

Practice run for a birthday party we’re doing tomorrow for some 11/12 year old kids. I’m really looking forward to it! Also, it was Ruby’s first cart ride and Ziggy drove the cart like a champ!

Ruby is tuckered out after helping the horses today. The farrier came and gave them a trim, and now she must be a math study buddy. All in a days work!😁😍

We had some fun exercising the horses at our local equestrian center. If you look really close you can see Ruby tucked in Leif’s jacket. 😍

We have a new team member here at Little Star Therapy Minis. Meet Ruby! She is sweet as pie and will be trained as a service and therapy dog. She is a mini Aussie doodle and will be 10-12 lbs full grown. Look for us in hospitals, assisted living facilities and anywhere else smiles are needed next year.

Got into the 20’s the last couple nights, so these shortcakes had a little help staying warm.

Too many amazing and fun teaching moments too share them all. I loved teaching these adorable kids to be calm and confident horse trainers.

10/08/2022

While prepping for an equine science class for kids at Cox Farm and Ranch, Ziggy and Strider met a dog about their size, huge horses, little horses, goats, chickens, and new human friends.

So PROUD of my family and all the hard work we put in to make this day possible!
