Georgie and Prince did some wonderful mat training in the sunshine this afternoon ☀️ Prince is learning that placing his front feet on the mat is rewarded, and in future this can help him understand cues in ridden sessions. We’re enjoying these positive reinforcement practice sessions as we work towards implementing it more fully 🥰

Thank you Sara McIver - Training and Behaviour Thoughts!

Our Spring closure this year is 13th - 19th April 🌱

No sessions will run during this time to give the herd a proper break from human contact. This is the third year we’ve put in these regular full closures to give the horses their “annual leave”, and it always does them the world of good!

Thank you for supporting us with this 🥰

30 seconds of the herd foraging and birds tweeting in the background 🥰

We’ve been experimenting with scattering loose hay in different places, alongside the usual haynets, to encourage the horses’ natural searching behaviours. They seem to be enjoying it so far and it adds some enrichment to their day 🐴

13/03/2026

Over the next few weeks, our therapy team are putting together some short “meet the team” videos. You’ll hear each of us talk a little bit about who we are and how we work, hopefully helping you feel more comfortable before that first session. We’ll post them here and on our website 🥰

Pictured is one of our wonderful counsellors Eleanor, with gorgeous Jasper, who was first up for videos!🐴

Clover was living her best life this afternoon ☀️ We’re seeing a lot of sunbathing ponies recently which is a sure sign that the weather is turning!

Therapy can be one of the most valuable ways of coping with the difficult feelings that come from modern life, but spending time in a herd of horses offers an extra layer of connection that gives us a feeling of being truly safe to rest. Their here-and-now focus and steady nature is so helpful in bringing us back to our own quiet corner of the world, even if just for a little while ❤️
