Welcome to minihearts.org

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the Mini Hearts program last night (Oct 26th). A good time was had by all as we raised funds to keep this unique program going strong in our community. Mini Hearts is still in it's infancy and we have a long way to go to get the program where it needs to be. We're off to a great start with your help!

We'd like to give Special Thanks to the following people who went above and beyond in making our fundraiser go smoothly.

Thanks to Jim Latham  - owner of Latham's Lighthouse Event Center (Hendersonville) for donating his beautiful lakefront facility, and more importantly his time and expertise.

Thanks to Tom & Jasmine Shinness who had our guests talking about how incredible their performance was for hours. We so appreciate you donating your time and talent to our cause. Please visit their site and purchase some music! www.tomshinness.com

Sheryl & Dan accompanied Boo Boo to the Veterans Home in Murfreesboro Tennessee! This was our second visit to the Veterans Home and Boo Boo was welcomed back like a rock star. The guys all had many stories to share about their own experiences with horses. One gentleman was a former racing jocky!  He thought he'd never get to see, touch, or feel, a horse up close again. To Sheryl and me, this is why we love doing these visits. Seeing Boo Boo or one of our other minis takes folks back to a special moment in their lives. They talk about a pony they had as a child and get these huge grins on their faces that are just priceless.

On this 4th of July, our thoughts are with the guys at the Veterans Home who gave so much!

Stay tuned for photos of this visit!

Boo Boo had his maiden voyage in a NEW specially designed cart! The cart enables him to go up and down large slippery hallways safely. Boo Boo seemed to really enjoy his ride and had a great time meeting all the folks at this wonderful facility. We were even invited into the room of a 91 year old couple who resides there together. The colorful gentleman served under Patton! He had many wonderful stories of his time around horses during his service to our Country. They told us about how the busy street out in front of the building (Gallatin Rd.) had been a two lane dirt road when they were a young couple. Fascinating!

Boo Boo & Sheryl made many new friends and brought smiles to all. We were invited back and plan on seeing all the great folks at the Terrace very soon!

Thanks to Mini Hearts volunteer, Vicki Seabolt for all her help and video skills during this visit!!

Stay tuned for a video posting of this visit!!
