We specialise in creating fantastic, fun-filled pony/horse parties for everyone, of all ages. We can offer 2 options for needs and comfortability at our farm. A mini party (up to 8) and a traditional party (up to 12/15)

The pony party guests, will groom, do stable management and take the ponies around the obstacle course. Then it’s into the Safari tent for art/crafts and for party food and refreshments.

Healing doesn’t always happen in a chair.

Sometimes, it happens standing beside a horse: feeling calm, grounded and seen.

Here at The Moat our equine sessions help clients work through, anxiety, autism , trauma, ADHD, emotional stress and so much more. All while using the power of connection, mindfulness and movement. Suited for children, youth and adults. Especially beneficial for children/young people in care/residential.

Real growth happens here, in every quiet moment of trust.
Try a session and feel the difference.

What lessons do horses teach us.

They are unbiased, non-judgemental, patient and trusting especially our pony Bob. These incredible values are in short supply if you struggle with anxiety, suffered from physical or emotional abuse.

If humans have hurt or betrayed you, horses restore your faith that there is ‘someone’ in this world you can trust. You will find it a lot easier to talk to a peaceful creature that shows no prejudice, bias or judgement. If you feel worthless or hopeless, caring for horses gives you a sense of purpose.

They teach us to:
Face and overcome fears
Believe in ourselves
Trust again
Be patient
Be kind
Show empathy and compassion
Feel pride
Accept responsibilities

Contact us at The Moat for details of our sessions.

Kids share discoveries and tackle tasks. The result - Laughter, teamwork and memories to last a lifetime. When children step into this environment, they leave with more than just stories - they take valuable lessons and a renewed sense of wonder with them for the rest of their lives. They do not even mind getting wet and muddy !

What a lovely, peaceful morning we had today. This was our sessions for the older generation and it was perfect. They all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the ponies were brilliant. We will definitely be doing another of these soon. Thank you all, we hope to see you again
