Benefits for all ages, especially the elderly or those with poor mobility, learning difficulties or anxiety.
🐴 Therapeutic Sessions
🐴 Visits to Homes, schools & preschools
🐴 Training Both adults and children for so many reasons can benefit
from an interaction with our very special ponies

Animals are known to offer major therapeutic benefits to people of all ages but especially for those with poor

mobility, co-ordination, partially sighted or who suffer from depression, anxiety or have learning difficulties. Horses being intuitive animals are able to read and respond to the emotions of the people around them, the opportunity to touch, stoke or just be in their presence can evoke a truly positive response. Horses are not confrontational by nature, our ponies have very kind & gentle temperaments making them ideal for older people or those with autism or challenging behaviour, we have witnessed even the most withdrawn open up and let the barriers down when with the ponies. Our Ponies Provide:
* Sensory Touch
* Social Interaction
* A non-judgemental Encounter
* Happy Association in Familiar Surroundings
* Reminiscence - Especially for older generation

The benefits of interactions with therapy animals are now being recognised by growing numbers of specialists. Unique in that, not only do we welcome individuals or groups to our approved facilities, our ponies travel to wherever they are needed most. They are fully trained and accustomed to working around specialist equipment using lifts to gain access to anyone that would otherwise miss out. For individual cases, our ponies can be teamed with Occupational, Speech or Physical therapists to set specific programs or goals, this can be as simple as inspiring a patient to reach out an arm or to walk with patients learning to use new equipment. Each encounter is tailored to the needs of the individuals, so everyone can benefit. We treat all we meet with kindness, care, compassion, dignity and respect. We are also available for School, Pre school and nursery visits. The ponies have also been used for Birthday surprize visits, Christmas Nativities, Santa's Grottos and school fates!
