"Even when I wasn’t working, I couldn’t switch off. I was so tired I couldn’t rest." - does this sound familiar?

This is a common sentiment we hear from people who visit us to spend downtime with our ponies. While we don’t always see it as stress, we feel the effects in our bodies;

😴through exhaustion
🤯a lack of focus or concentration
😫feeling overwhelmed
🤕headaches

Stress, pressure and a constant drive without the space to recover build over time and can lead to distress.

Finding small actions that work for you can help you At the end of our sessions, most people ask, "Where did that time go?"

With the weather improving, now is the perfect time to get outside and recharge.

We invite you to find a way to reset and prioritise your well-being by spending some quality time on the ground with our ponies or through our Mindfulness with Ponies & Nature courses.

💜🐴🐰🥚 Happy Easter from the yard! 💜🐴🐰🥚

While many are relaxing with chocolate or preparing Easter Lunch, the "horse people" have been out since early o'clock :

🍎 feeding
🧑‍🌾 mucking out
🚜 moving big bales of hay
🌬️ changing rugs following Storm Dave's passing....

Now it's time for :

🤷 Picking hay out my hair
👢Wellies off
☕Hot cup of tea to warm our hands
🔥 Fire on

Still no place we would rather be! 💜🐴💜

Despite not the best of weather, well done to everyone who came along for our next "Easter Pony Care and Egg Hunts" this morning!

Lots to do indoors but everyone braved the rain to complete the Hunt clues and Scavenger Hunt in the arena too! 💪🐰🙌

Back indoors to finish off with a bit of crafting, Pinning to Tail on the bunny and Rosette handouts. 🐰🫶🎀

Thank you all and to the team Janet, Chelsea and Grace for helping 🥰🐴💜

Alongside our Easter Pony Care Days taking place over the next couple of weeks, we will still be offering our Meet & Greet sessions 💜🐴💜

💜🐴💜 Meet & Greet Sessions for Children 💜🐴💜

At Horses4Help we understand that not all children thrive in a classroom. We specialise in Equine Facilitated Learning in an outdoor environment and our courses and sessions in Personal Development are tailored to cater for Neurodivergent children, those with SEN, those from underprivileged backgrounds, those facing mental health challenges, young carers and vulnerable individuals who are facing difficulties in education settings, the community or at home.

For some, outdoors learning can change everything.🌳
Through engaging in various non-ridden activities with our ponies, individuals with poor concentration can improve focus and goals and the social and emotional interaction in a safe, non-judgemental space with others and our horses can boost confidence and self-esteem and reduce stress and anxiety.

We offer 1:1, one-off group sessions and Unique 2 week Personal Development and now our new 6-week Equi-Learning courses which are ASDAN Accredited. We also offer a 4 week Mindfulness with Horses and Nature course.

Young people attend our Equi-Leaning Course weekly where learning is for :

⭐ Children who struggle in a classroom environment
⭐ Children who are Home Educated
⭐ Children on a part-time school time table
⭐ Non school attenders.

Offering alternative learning techniques, this course uses our ponies to learn in a fun way. No riding takes place, so it's open to all. We cover:

🐴 Caring for and safely handling ponies
🐴 Problem solving through obstacles and achieving practical goals
🐴 Weighing and measuring, working out costs involved
🐴 History of what horses were used for then we recreate through long-lining
🐴 Geography, where do our native ponies come from?
🐴 Confidence building and teamwork through shared tasks
🐴 Looking at potential careers with horses and other animals, the outdoors and nature
🐴 Mindfulness in Nature sessions - learning coping techniques
🐴 and much more!!

COST FOR CHILDREN ONLY 😊

If you are interested or need more information, please contact us. Some funded sessions available.

Please share/tag if you know or are a teacher, GP, social worker, support worker, carer or parent and you think we can help or please get in touch for more information.

"Xx has had the most amazing time on this course and learned so much more than we thought would be covered! It certainly is the highlight of her week, thank you".
