Mission: Love of Little Horses is an all volunteer community outreach organization. Our Little Horse Barn and center for Love of Little Horses is located in beautiful Albemarle County, VA where we host miniature horse activity programs, teach miniature horsemanship, and, if funds and facilities allow, serve as a sanctuary and/or rescue and rehabilitation center for "unwanted" miniature horses. In addition to our Central Virginia location are member miniature horse owners and volunteers that collaboratively work to provide activity programs and services throughout Northern Virginia. We believe the unique experience of interacting with miniature horses is a healthy and rewarding activity. We share our love and admiration for these special little equine through educational programs to everyone. Our mission is to help prevent abuse and neglect of children and adults, serve to help prevent cruelty to animals; and to provide community outreach programs that focus on supportive activities for the disabled, handicapped, elderly, veterans, and those with special needs or circumstances.
