Huge Happy Birthday wishes to our very own Ladyshore Pony club’s Willow 🥰❤️🙌 we loved celebrating your birthday with you today and hope you had as much fun as we did 💕🥳🥳🥳🐴🐴🐴
SEN & neurodiverse sessions 0 to 12years, maximum weight to ride 6.5 stone, option to lead instead🐴🐴💜❤️
These sessions are tailored to suit specific needs and are introduced at the child’s pace to teach not only the love of horses but also communication, language, feelings and much more 🐴
We have podd and pecs in use for visual aid communication in all of our areas, these are also available to purchase in advance or on the day to take home for use in your own visual timetable to prepare for the day 😊🐴
Our sessions are very sensory and our areas are filled with many different sensory activities and items. The space is very relaxed and calm, we endeavour to keep noise to a minimum so that all you really hear are the birds above us in the trees and the sound of children’s excitement 🥰🥰🤩
The ponies themselves are very sensory too and we find that we can all relate to them and understand them in ways that do not need words, just being in their presence and to be able to groom and ride them fills us with love and understanding of these beautiful animals.
As an sen riding instructor, early years sen TA and a foster parent and aunt to neuro diverse children I have personal experience in how much the ponies can benefit children and parents by spending time with one another. Nothing here is rushed, everything is done at the child and parents pace and the kettle is on too 😉
Each session includes the following:-
Meet and greet the ponies
Groom the ponies
Make the ponies feed
Muck out the ponies stable ready for their bedtime
Fill the ponies water
Sit on the ponies
Ride the ponies
Outdoor play area with sand and water areas
Clubhouse sensory room
Calm area for those overwhelming moments
Tea, coffee, water, juice and snack.
Snack can be tailored to your child’s taste.
We are very ‘child led’ so the activities and areas are all available but are not forced, you are free to choose where you would like to start and take everything
⭐️❤️Introducing our amazing little person H❤️⭐️
H has brought so much light and teachings to our lives and makes us and the horses so so happy 🥰
H is neurodiverse and has little verbal communication and until recently very limited social interaction xx
Today was a super special day 🥰
Today H not only enjoyed riding and cuddling her pony, she also hoof picked her (with help) and played a little game with us and took turns involving us 🥰🥰
My heart is bursting it’s so full ❤️
Her pony Lily is an absolute dream come true and loves H as much as she loves her which you can see from the videos ❤️ (more in the comments)
Horses really are the best kind of therapy for everyone 🐴❤️🥰
Thank you for sharing your journey with us H and allowing us to be with you 🥰🥰
Much love Tiny Tots ❤️🥰🐴🐴
Our beautiful best friends at Tiny Tots Tiny Hooves 🥰🐴🦄❤️💙
