“Read this book slowly,” I said. I wanted to absorb it one chapter at a �me, relishing in the stories about Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses. Let me start this by saying I u�erly failed at that. Mini Horse, Mighty Hope made me so happy that I could not stop reading it.

I didn’t get past page 14 before the tears came. You won’t be able to put this book down! If you need a heaping helping of hoofed hope, you’ve found the right book!!

- This book, these miniature horses, Gentle Carousel’s gi� of inspira�on IS EVERYTHING... OK, there are a zillion books on inspira�on, healing, and love out there...and then there’s this book; Mini Horse, Mighty Hope. When I finally read it cover to cover I just sat in silence - for a long �me. For me, it’s life changing, life affirming, and reawakened something in me that I hadn’t even no�ced was sleeping - belief in literal ‘miracles’.

Some information about
Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses:
Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses is an award winning 501(c)(3) non-profit charity celebrating almost 25 years of service. The therapy horses were called in to comfort survivors and first responders of the tragedies at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC and the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, FL. They helped the tornado survivors of Moore, OK, victims of the fires in Gatlinburg, TN, families in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, families and first responders after the condo collapse in Surfside, FL and they visit thousands of patients inside children’s and veterans hospitals across the country each year. Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses have also been asked to visit Congress in Washington, D.C., Arlington National Cemetery and the 911 Memorial in NYC. They helped teach a class at Columbia Medical School, were invited to meet the twin baby pandas at Zoo Atlanta, have been on the concert stage in Nashville, Tennessee and performed with the Dance Alive National Ballet (for blind and deaf children). Gentle Carousel’s literacy program, with teams of volunteer educators, inspires young readers and “brings books to life”. The horses of Gentle Carousel work inside schools, libraries, with mentoring programs, at literacy events and at education resource centers in high crime neighborhoods with a focus on at-risk readers. Working indoors would be a challenge for any horse but Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses make it look easy, even in high rise hospital buildings. The therapy horses walk up and down steps, ride in elevators, walk on unusual floor surfaces, carefully move around hospital and television studio equipment, work in small patient rooms and stay calm around unexpected sounds like ambulances, alarms and hospital helicopters... and yes they are house trained.
