Think Like a Pony

Think Like a Pony helps children build confidence and learn new skills through working with ponies. Young people learn how to communicate with a pony and ride in balance. This teaches respect, responsibility, and positive strategies for managing feelings.

The programme uses natural horsemanship and equine therapy to help children:

  • Develop confidence and resilience
  • Improve communication skills
  • Build stronger relationships
  • Re-engage with learning

Who can join:

  • Children with social, emotional, or mental health difficulties
  • Referrals from professionals or parents/carers are welcome
