SMALL PACKAGES SPREADING HUGE SMILES Morning Dove's Sidekicks The Sidekicks program enables Morning Dove to provide equine-assisted services to individuals who might not be able to come to the therapeutic riding center. The miniature horses are less intimidating for people as well. The Sidekicks offer the same benefits as a full-size horse; in that, horses mirror human interaction and personalities and have the same relationship-building capacity as humans. Morning Dove’s miniature horses will be equine ambassadors for a community, and can provide people the opportunity to connect with these amazing animals. The minis can be used for animal-assisted therapy, school reading programs, corporate wellness, community appearances, public safety visits, etc.
