Founder and Creator, Holiday Horse Baskets Providence, RI
Monique Scanio Doherty loves all kinds of animals but she has a special fondness for horses. In 2004, she began creating holiday baskets for the horses of the Providence and Boston Police Mounted Command Units. She later added the horses of the Boston Park Rangers. With the help of her husband, Barry, she has created as many as 41 baskets at a time--filling them with hay, horse treats, apples, carrots, homemade cookies and hard candies for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, and Easter. Then Monique decorates every one. She even makes the cookies soy-free due to one horse’s allergy!
