Small in Size, Big in Heart: Cheyenne the Therapy Pony

Cheyenne, an Australian Appaloosa Pony created joy for multiple events this past fall and over the Christmas Holiday. She LOVES people, and people are charmed by her beauty and her loving presence. One year she was a greeter for the Grammy Awards. When she was spotted by Will I Am, he came over to her and went down on one knee and sang, “You Are So Beautiful To Me.” The crowds were charmed.

In October she was the Mascot for the Redlands Dog Jog. Later, on December 6, Cheyenne was the mascot for the First Annual Christmas Blessings of Animals event. During Christmas shopping she interacted with shoppers at various malls, spreading cheer and charm.

She is only 37 inches tall, and her favorite people seem to be those close to her height; in other words, children. She is also a Therapy Pony, meaning she creates transformation and healing for humans of all ages.

To schedule her for an event you may text her owner, Dr. Bernadine Irwin at (909) 289-5859.
