Pony Therapy

Over the summer we partnered with Patchwork Ponies to put on a programme of pony therapy sessions.

Interacting with animals can reduce stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation, while also promoting confidence, empathy, and emotional regulation. In particular, spending time with ponies can be especially powerful.

Grooming, leading, and simply being around ponies encourages responsibility, patience and a sense of calm.

Thank you to everyone who came along to experience extra special time with the ponies and of course a huge thank you to Patchwork Ponies who have been so knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. We can't wait to work together again soon.
