Who doesn’t love a mini horse? Mini horses couldn’t be cuter! And that’s the problem. Unethical breeders let their greed drive them into creating littiler and littiler horses — small enough even to be a house pet. The result is that, even when their frame is tiny, their internal organs stay large. And that’s how Munchie came to be a permanent member of the Miracle Ranch herd.

Meet Munchie
Mini
Someone did Munchie wrong before he was even born. In an unethical effort to breed mini horses for profit, they tried for a dwarf. But tiny Munchie was born with a distended belly. Then things got worse.

Munchie’s abuse began before he was even born. Standing at just one-third the size of a standard mini horse, Munchie was bred by an unscrupulous person who prioritized profits over animal welfare. You can help us shut down irresponsible breeding and protect more horses like Munchie. Take action now!

Rescue Story
Blessing’s story shows what love can do. In December of 2019, we got a call from the sheriff of a nearby county about a horse who needed an immediate rescue. We didn’t know much, but we didn’t need to. He said the horse needed urgent help so we left immediately.
Rescue Story
After Hurricane Harvey in 2017, law enforcement from another county asked us to rescue 11 horses who had been pulled out belly-high water. Many people had seen them trapped in the flood but, in the wake of the catastrophe, it took several days for animal control to reach them.
