About Us

Come and visit them in their beautiful and tranquil surroundings for personal therapeutic experience in the stunning countryside ~ take some time to enjoy the peace & serenity while interacting with the wonderful ponies that are making such a positive difference to so many lives.

As Qualified Equine Assisted Therapists & Certified Advanced Equine Facilitated Practitioners we offer Equine Therapy Sessions a recognised & growing form of therapy which offers a broad spectrum of benefits especially beneficial for people suffering from depression or trauma.

The ponies can also travel out and go inside settings or Residential/Care Homes (even visiting individual bedrooms!) spreading love and happiness to all they meet. Non confrontational by nature, our ponies have very kind & gentle temperaments making them ideal for older people or those with autism or challenging behaviour. We are delighted to be able to provide this service to the people that need them most.
