Mello Memories

Our mission is to spread joy and emotional support to elderly, disabled and disadvantaged individuals in El Paso County through visits by trained miniature horse/human volunteer teams and as appropriate, with a trained full-sized quarter horse. Visits are either at various facilities or here on the "ranch" Ranch activities help the "special needs" population. Whether mental, physical, psychological, cognitive, behavioral or PTSD issues, Mello Memories reaches out, with the use of miniature horses, to meet each individual where they presently are and help them stretch their potential.

Our goal is to improve the quality of life--emotional, mental, physical--for each individual the organization serves

To reinforce the importance that each is loved and has value, no matter what one's stage in life may be or what challenges one is facing

To promote self-confidence and foster social interaction in each individual
