Horses Helping Humans is a program offered by the Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue which is a 501c(3) charity. The program provides Equine Assisted Activities for a diverse group of children and adults.
HORSES HELPING HUMANS is a program that has been a long time dream of Triple H Miniature Horse Rescue Founder, Alison Smith.
The program is available to everyone young and old alike . We have found miniature horses to be the most kind and gentle of souls. The handlers and horses used within the program have been trained and tested for compliance and success
