Velvet Noses is more than a ministry. It’s a lifesaver for horses and humans. After losing our son to suicide, I felt eternally broken and hopeless. One of the most healing aspects of my journey has been with Velvet Noses. Truly, the bond felt between horse and human needs no words. And sometimes in the suffering, words fail anyway. There is something about leaning into a horse and feeling it’s warm energy that starts to soothe a wounded soul. I’m forever grateful for Libby and Mike Zaiser for their foresight to know there is a need for this type of ministry.
