Tiny tots groups .
Starting the new year we are going to have regular tiny tot sessions .

A session to help little people build their confidence around ponies , develop social skills and work on co ordination all while having fun outdoors and around ponies .

‼️We will ask that parents remain with children ‼️, this gives parents the opportunity to socialise with other parents of their age .

We do have hats available if your little person wishes to wear one , just ask 🦄💕.

We will start with a Thursday 3:30-4:15 (hoping to begin 8th of January 🤞 )

Group sized capped at 3 ❤️.

We will look at putting another time for a second group if there is a demand .

Send us a message to be put on our reserve list .

We can do these as individual sessions or happy for a block to be booked 💕❤️

It was farrier day for the gang ❤️ . So we took the opportunity to get a wee team photo 🦄.

I absolutely love this mini herd !, they are not your typical “Shetlands” . Everyone compliments me on how amazing they all are , that’s including vets and farrier’s 😍🥰🦄.

Good morning everyone 🦄🥶

We have a lovely day for sessions and we look forward to seeing everyone. It’s very cold and will be colder on the hill , please remember to wrap up warm !. Layers are better than 1 heavy jacket ❤️.

The ground is hard but may be slippy in places so good footwear is highly recommended .
Remember we have wellies on site that can be borrowed and used .
I have spare jackets with me also 💕.

Let’s have a wonderful day and get some autumn sun and fresh air 🦄🦄🦄

What amazing feed back we have been receiving from our outdoor learners 🥰😍. To know the positive impact we are having on young people and their lives really does make us proud ❤️

We've been getting some lovely feedback in the last few weeks for our outdoor learning sessions at Minds & Manes. In just a few short months we have met the most amazing learners and are proud of each and every one of them.

Every Thursday Nicola and I sit down and plan our sessions for the week . Our sessions are not set in stone but instead young people focused. Today we had some sickness , so our plans changed . We built our own perfect paddock followed by a pony glow up ❤️. Todays vibes were “ Chill, Good, Happy ”🦄🥰

We focus everything we do on our young people and today we had one tired young person and one that had felt a little deflated ❤️ . At the end our young people left relaxed , Happy , Calm all with a sense of achievement . That’s a big win for all 💕💕.

Well done team .

Outdoor learning is a great way to learn but in a way of fun .

We worked on counting , accountability , team work and problem solving …. All while having so much fun and of course ponies were involved ❤️🥰

My heart filled with absolute love , pride and joy when Nicola at Canter Coffee Club told be about this moment . Then to see the picture my eyes filled up 🥹.

These moment remind me exactly WHY Minds and Manes was created . Nature , joy , understanding, safety , love and Smiles ❤️🦄

A moment can make a lasting impact not only to us and our ponies but also the individuals family and friends ❤️❤️❤️

The sky really is our limit ☀️🥰

And last but certainly not least, we had a visit from the most beautiful couple.

If mobility is an issue, we will do what we can do help you feel comfortable whilst we bring ponies to you.

We don’t do care home visits, there are some amazing local companies who do!

We are about giving peaceful personal time with the Minds & Manes ponies outside in nature.

“Such a brilliant concept, and my dad a wonderful opportunity to be happy”

This is our WHY right there 🥰🥰🥰
