Flexible sessions depending on individual needs
Tea with a pony is an opportunity for participants living with long term conditions to come to our stables with a carer, meet and interact with a pony, all in a way that is comfortable for them.
These sessions are very flexible, depending on confidence and ability of the groups, with as much or as little interaction as they would like.
Our horses and ponies are very well trained, exceptionally patient and are ideal for this type of equine therapy.
“Her face just lights up, it connects her with some wonderful memories.”
