Every child you inspire to read is a life forever changed. Thank you for that and for bringing books to life...It can take you from outer space to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Either way, the journey is magical.

 Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses bring their special love where it is needed most.

Over 4000 adults and children are visited by Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses each year.

 Our tiny therapy horses work inside hospitals, assisted living programs, hospice programs, programs for Alzheimer patients and with adults and children with disabilities.  They also work with foster children and at risk and abused children.

 Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses grant wishes, make memories and bring a little magic wherever they go.

  "I chair the Governor’s Commission On Disabilities and we’re very interested in Gentle Carousel. We’ll be studying the program this year and my guess is there will be some recommendations to the governor and the legislature about at least beginning a pilot program to enable this program to perhaps move on state wide. "

  Lance Block
Chairman for the Governors Commission On Disabilities

   "They make a significant difference in the lives of the people in this community with their work. And not just this community, everywhere that they go they have a big impact.

  We’re excited to have a partnership with them. "

Ester Tibbs

District III Administrator, Department of Children and Families

    "I just can’t say enough nice things about what they do in our community. We’re so thankful that we have them in our community.

It has been a very tough year so Sun Trust bank, along with the other banking institutions, has been very cautious about where they place their money. So when someone comes and asks for a donation we are certainly scrutinizing that and making sure that our money is being used to the best resources possible and this is one.  Reading is Magic, horse therapy... It’s just something that we’re very, very honored to be a part of.

Stacey Hayes, Sun Trust Bank, VP with Client Advisor and Private Wealth Management

They’re the bridge. They connect our residents with maybe a memory, a feeling, something that they’ve done in their life. It’s just such an experience. There’s no words to describe it.

 Ann Marie Malave

Regional Activity Coordinator and Community Liaison, Hampton Manor  

"What’s better than a tiny horse in your classroom?

 I feel like anyone who meets the horses will never forget it.  I really feel like the children will tell their children about the little horses that came in their classroom.  I feel like it’s that big!"

Diane Colson

 Senior Library Manager, Youth Services Coordinator for the Alachua County Library District.
