HUG Equine Assisted Learning

12/05/2026

Normally, I'm not very good at receiving compliments, but this week I received one that truly humbled me.

I know the work I do is beneficial to the children/adults and families I support, and I genuinely love what I do. This week, I was working with a young client while their mother was observing the session. Afterwards, while we were chatting, she said to me:

"You're an earth angel 😇 "
Those words have stayed with me all week.
I've gone back and forth about posting this i feel so humbled by it, but hearing someone speak so highly of the work I do really touched my heart ❤️.
Moments like this remind me why I do what I do .

Sometimes words 💬, are to find, and thats okay.

Yesterday's equine assisted learning session reminded us that connection doesn't always need words.

From feeling cautious in the arena .
When we moved inside to meet the ponies in the stables their facial expressions changes , to bright eyes, big smiles 😁 , and beautiful moments of connection.
The transformation said it all 🐴🐴

More pictures from yesterday's group from Frairs mill Muirosa Mullingar 💛
Today was about stepping outside comfort zones-- and they did just that by trying the stepping stones.
There was a little hesitation at first-- but something special happened when the ponies came alongside them. Confidence grew, steps got steadier, and one by one they gave it a go.
By the end, they all agreed:
👌it felt much easier with the ponies beside them🐴
That quiet support, presence and connection makes all the difference.
So proud of everyone yesterday 💫

A really special moment from today 💛
Peter's goal was to get out of his wheelchair and go for a walk with Tiny Tim 🐴.
Peter uses oxygen, so it took a bit of support to make it happen-- but he was determined. With the right help and encouragement, he got up and took those steps.
A big shout out to Lauren, who stepped in to walk Tiny Tim and make sure Peter could go at his own pace the whole way 👏.
It was a team effort-- and a lovely reminder that with the right support, people can achieve more than they think .
