Gratitude….

Last week in sessions, we pointed out things and people we are grateful to have in our lives along side the horses. Horses have the ability to help us process feelings and it is sometimes important to recognise the good feelings most of all.

One of our therapy horses taking a nap after their breakfast, this definitely looks like a grateful face.

A productive morning at Magpie 🐴🌱

Suzanne, Sheila and Scilla spent the day raking up old hay from around where the boxes used to sit, starting to get everything tidied up for spring. There’s still plenty to do, but we’ve made a good start!

Next up: preparing the paddocks for w**d spraying over the coming weeks 🌿

Spring has officially arrived at the Magpie Centre 🌱

Tonto is making the most of the sunshine… and the fresh grass… with a very enthusiastic roll! There’s nothing quite like seeing our ponies enjoying the simple pleasures of the season.

Moments like this remind us why we do what we do - giving our horses the space, care, and comfort they deserve, while creating special experiences for everyone who visits.

Keep an eye out for more springtime antics from the team💚

Updates from our Equine Assisted Therapy Team

Circle of trust…..

Horses like humans rely on individuals within their herd to provide emotional support and protection.

This week in sessions, horses and clients began in a circle of cones and one by one the humans left the circle. You may be surprised to know that the horses didn’t always stay together and actually followed the humans. Perhaps humans as well as horses should consider who we let in and out of our circle?

Today, we said goodbye to our beloved Joey, who has been part of the Magpie Centre family since 2017. 🌈🕊️

He wasn’t just a horse — he was a favourite, a teacher, a confidence‑giver, and a friend. His gentle nature touched countless hearts.

Run free, Joey. You will be deeply missed and forever loved. ✨🖤

Last week we were delighted to welcome Marta, our wonderful pony chiropractor, back to the Centre! 🐴

Marta visits regularly to check over our ponies and make sure they are feeling comfortable, balanced and ready for their important work with our riders. Her careful assessments and gentle adjustments help keep our ponies happy, healthy and moving freely.

We are so grateful for Marta’s continued support and the care she gives our herd. Thank you, Marta, for looking after our very special team! 💚

V was very well behaved last week while having his teeth checked and treated by Zoe the vet from Anchorage Barn 🐴🦷

Regular dental care is really important for our ponies to make sure they stay comfortable, healthy and able to enjoy their food. V took it all in his stride and was a superstar for Zoe!

A big thank you to Zoe from Anchorage Barn Equine Clinic Ltd for taking such good care of our boy. 💚
