Our Story

About 8 years ago, we moved from town and bought a five acre ranch at the edge of Tahlequah, right down the road in front of the Church of the Nazarene that’s in Tahlequah. After seeing how the horses have helped my grandpa and I, we decided to officially become a miniature equine therapy organization. We are family owned and operated with a team of 11 family members. Normally, we bring

two or three depending on who can come and help. After a few years of having a big, old and ugly trailer meant for Thoroughbred horses, we got a black and white miniature horse trailer. A few years later, my uncle, who does wraps for vehicles and RVs among other things, came over and decided to spruce up our new trailer so it wouldn’t look so plain and boring. That’s how it came to have a trio of red, black and white horses on the front where the hookup is and the back as well with our name, Little Cherokee Horses and Miniature Equine Therapy. There are also some line designs in our colors in various places on the trailer. Despite what you might think, the ramp and door for loading and unloading the horses are on the side, instead of at the back. It also has three windows so the horses can look outside and they can come up so that they can stick their heads out when it’s parked and they are awaiting to be led out. We bring our horses to nursing homes, shut ins and mental health awareness events in and around Tahlequah as our free community outreach. If you would like to come out and witness the healing and calmness these wonderful horses emit or want us to bring a couple of them to one of the above locations, please contact us through the send message button at the top of our page. Thanks for your support!

A lot of people are showing up to our Dia de los Mu***os extravaganza at St. Brigid! I tried Chicharrones preparados and it’s my new favorite food! The atole is warm so it’s helping with the tickle I’ve been having in my throat. Before the Aztec dancers started, they played Coco on one of the big screens outside. The first time I heard about Dia de los Mu***os was that movie. I still remember how when we saw it at the movie theater 8 years ago, I was under the impression my grandpa had picked it out since we went on his birthday. Nope! My dad did. I think it reminded him of my brother. Funny thing is, I remember seeing the poster for it in the shuttles when I went to Disney World a few weeks earlier and I was like „I wonder what that movie is about.“ I started watching it again last night and now I’m finishing it. ***os

It’s been 11 years now. It was on a Sunday like today. I’ll never forget that day on our way home from church. Dad was on the phone with your mom. His shoulders were heaving up and down. We pull into the garage and he told me what happened. Took me a minute to process then I break down. I also remember that when we went into the house, he immediately drops to his knees in the kitchen. I didn’t go to school the next day. Then on Wednesday, dad picked me up and we spent the day together. That’s when I got your jacket and I’ve had it ever since. Your death still and will always affect dad, but he keeps it hidden very well. Music helps him with the grief. Guess what?! My church is having their Dia de los Mu***os extravaganza today! I’ll be putting your photo up on one of our ofrendas and I‘m bringing some marigolds too!

Today, October 27th, is a separate Day of the Dead recognised as a day for people to honour the memory of their beloved pets who have sadly passed away. 💔🕊️

The main holiday is held on November 2nd, for humans. However, October 27th has become recognized by many as an additional day dedicated to remembering pets.
