They’re not just here for the ride. 🐴✨

At Wild Mane, our horses and ponies are our co-facilitators.
They are our colleagues.
They are our partners.

They live outside in a herd, with space to move, graze, and just be.
This isn’t a luxury; it is the foundation of their wellbeing.
Because they are grounded, they are ready to teach us.

They show us trust.
They reflect our boundaries.
They heighten our awareness.

No classroom.
No pressure.
Just real connections on the low.

We are so lucky to share Werneth Low with them every day.

Dusty is officially out of office. 💤

If you’re looking for him, he’s currently in a very important meeting with a fleece blanket.

We had such a fun session at Wild Child Club today: huge thanks to everyone who came along!

Steadiness supports regulation.
Regulation creates space.
Space allows the learning to sink in.

Don’t skip the rest part. It’s where the magic settles. 🤍

Meet Monty 🤍

A strong breed, and a soft heart.

He lives out, with space to move, graze, rest, and just be a pony.
That is not a luxury here, it is the baseline.

When we shift the question, everything changes.

At Wild Mane, this isn't a technique we apply. it's the foundation everything is built on.

If you work with young people and you're ready to look a little deeper, we'd love to connect. 🌿

Esmeray and Teddy 🤍

Peaceful herd life, living out, plenty of space, fresh air, and predictable routines.

Pony welfare is not a side note here, it is the foundation.
If it is not good for the pony, it does not happen.

We are lucky to share Werneth Low with these two.

Try Something Different On Sundays 🐴🌳

If you’re looking for something gentle, outdoorsy, and genuinely good for your mind and body, this is it. 🥰

No bootcamp energy.
No mirrors.
No pressure.

Just an hour outside with a small group of adults, moving, chatting, and learning new skills along the way.

We use the fields and woodland, spend time with the ponies, and mix in a few simple challenges to keep things interesting.

Join in as much or as little as you want.
Need a breather? Take one.
Prefer to watch first? Completely OK.

It’s calm, friendly, and a lovely way to spend a Sunday.

Every Sunday, 1–2pm Limited spaces available due to small group environment.
Book your spot: https://www.wildmane.org.uk/clubs-groups

When someone feels small, they rarely say,
“I feel ashamed.”

They might blame.
They might deny.
They might minimise.
They might lash out.

It looks like anger.
It sounds like defiance.
It feels like resistance.

But underneath, it is often protection.

Adults do this.
Children do this.
Colleagues do this.
Parents do this.

Protection is not the same as confidence.

And shame does not build strength.

Most people get dressed up on Valentines 👗♥️ Not me! This is how I roll... In the mud 🤦‍♀️🤣😳 This is why I say it is important to wear sensible footwear 🥾 Not Uggs! It can get slippery otherwise. But we don't mind a bit of mud 🤷‍♀️

My first reaction was to save the hay 🤣
