In October of 2017, Nutmeg, a pinto miniature horse joined our herd. I soon realized she has the perfect temperament to be a therapy horse. She is loved by all who meet her, and I enjoy sharing her. As a retired Oncology nurse, I love bringing her to visit with cancer patients and their families. Nutmeg brings a great and needed break from the daily worries and stress during the cancer treatment journey.
Asheville Therapeutic Equestrian Center is a 501© (3) nonprofit serving the Western NC area. Donations are gratefully accepted all goes directly towards the care of Nutmeg, including vet and farrier care, hay and grain. Donations also help with traveling expenses and insurance costs so Nutmeg can be shared with others at nursing homes, schools and other events. We have joined an organization ‘Just Say WHOA®to Bullying’ and will share the program started by Shelly Mizrahi and her famous mini Amos.
