Meet the Team
We have a team of thirty horses. Here at The Mane Event Equine Therapy, we offer an Empowering Struggling Youth program, work with military personnel and veterans, and our Send Kids to School in Haiti program. Our sister company WildeWood Farm, Inc. offers riding lessons, camps, birthday parties, and special events.

Poppy
Unicorn
Poppy is 5 years old and was bought from a breeder and miniature therapy horse trainer in south Florida. She was originally a service horse for a special needs child, but we purchased her when the parents of this child became unable to care for her.

Jack
Lovebug
Jack is 9 years old. He was bought by a rescue organization from an auction. Although we don't know much about Jack's past, he must have come from a good family as he is well trained and dependable. He is friendly, good natured and knows how to pull a pony cart.

Annabelle
Cutie
Annabelle was surrendered to a rescue organization by her owner that became unable to care for her. She is two years old. She is sweet and curious and loves lots of attention. She was well cared for by her owners before being surrendered.

Gracie
Princess
Gracie is a beautiful 9 year old chestnut mare who is only 32 inches tall. She enjoyed a successful show career for several years before coming to the Mane Event. She even placed nationally for her natural talents. Due to her calm and friendly disposition she was recommended for therapy.

About Us
We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit whose mission is to make the world a happier place. Founded in February of 2018, the Taylor's use trained miniature horses and some of their barnyard friends to bring joy and smiles to everyone we encounter. Once the Taylor's retired in 2020, the Mane Event was transferred to WildeWood Farm, Inc and to Hannah Zapletal and her family.
There are many ways a person can benefit from spending time with a horse. They can improve a person's happiness, especially for someone facing physical, mental, or emotional challenges. Horses have a quiet nature that can boost spirits, give confidence, provide a feeling of tranquility, and offer companionship for the lonely.
