The first step is to fill out the Visit Request Form on the Visit Page. From there, we will contact you to discuss your request in greater detail.

Mane in Heaven is entirely volunteer run and relies solely on donations, sponsorships, fundraising, and grants to sustain the organization. While Mane in Heaven does not charge for visits, it is suggested a donation to help us cover the cost of fuel and expenses that make the visit possible.

Our in-person programs occur in the Chicagoland area and we occasionally offer opportunities to experience the miniature horses through virtual programs on our social media channels.

Our miniature therapy horses live at a private barn in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. For the safety of our horses, volunteers, and the families we serve, the barn is not open to the public.

Because our barn is a private training environment, we are unable to accommodate on‑site visits. Instead, we bring the minis out into the community through scheduled programs, facility visits, and special events.

Yes! Virtual visits are a wonderful option when an in‑person visit isn’t possible. To request one, simply complete our Visit Request Form, and our team will follow up with details.

We are always looking for dedicated, compassionate volunteers to join our team. Volunteers receive training in horse handling, safety, and our MERIT‑based approach to equine‑assisted interactions. To learn more or apply, please visit our Support Page and scroll down to the Volunteering section.

As a volunteer‑run 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely entirely on the generosity of donors, sponsors, and community partners. If you’d like to make a tax‑deductible gift, please visit our Donate Page.
