Born right here at the yard, Florrie is our little ray of sunshine and she’s loving the longer days and fresh spring grass! From her first wobbly steps to her current cheeky trots around the paddock, it's been pure joy watching her grow.

There’s something extra special about seeing a pony thrive where they were born and Florrie is living proof that the magic of spring starts with a sparkle in the field.

We’re Celebrating World Laughter Day! 😊

At Somerset Equus, we believe in the healing power of laughter—and there’s no better day to embrace joy, connection, and togetherness.

World Laughter Day is a celebration of positivity, peace, and global friendship. It reminds us that laughter is a universal language—one that builds bonds, lifts spirits, and even supports wellbeing.

Whether it's a chuckle in the field, a giggle with the ponies, or a full belly laugh with our amazing team, we know that joy has a place in every healing journey. Take a moment today to laugh freely, share kindness, and connect with the world around you—with love, light, and maybe a neigh or two!
