COVID PRECAUTIONS

In light of public and family concerns of COVID-19, and guidance ​from local public health agencies,
​most senior care facilities have cancelled all therapy visits until further notice.    


As window visits and courtyard visits begin to open to our assisted therapy sessions, Tender Little Hearts
uses the utmost care in cleanliness of our therapy equines.  Horses are bathed prior to all visits. 
Handlers wear masks and will wear gloves if requested. 
​Wipes and hand sanitizers are available at each visit.  


All grooming supplies, equine therapy shoes and vests are thoroughly disinfected between visits for the safety of our most vulnerable seniors and immunocompromised patients. 

If you have any questions regarding our infection control measures, please give us a call, ​
​480-318-3281.
Private visits are also available at the ranch or at your group homes or facility with adequate social distancing.

Equine Assisted Therapeutic Services - Equine Mini Therapy

As therapy animals, they touch the lives of those most in need. They provide therapeutic comfort, a source of emotional confidence and confidentiality in their interactions. The simple act of petting animals releases an automatic relations response, lowers anxiety, reduces loneliness, increases mental stimulation, provides a happy distraction, even acting as a catalyst to reduce resistance in the therapy process.

Making friends, warming hearts, sharing smiles, and spreading joy, one tender little heart at a time.
