Chico was very much enjoying himself out at our NHS visits today in Hertfordshire, helping to keep the grass in order. A big hit with staff and residents and was more than happy to visit those in their rooms when unable to make it outside to him.

Well of course Winter has done it again.
Always lovely to visit Banana Moon being the nursery my own children attended many moons ago.

Did you catch us this morning on BBC Three Counties Radio talking about Winter and our other amazing animals here at the farm and the therapy work they have been offering.
Catch the interview here if you missed it.

To say Winter is an absolute star is an understatement, so when we were approached to talk about the benefits of Animal Therapy, the impact Winter has had on many peoples lives of all ages it was no doubt he deserved some spotlight...❤️

A mini-lop rabbit in Bedfordshire is developing a reputation for helping children with additional needs to overcome the barriers they face with reading.

Do you have the qualities, skills experience and resilience to really model all of the great human qualities that we want in our young people? ……. Even when it’s -3degrees?
🥶
Do you have patience, empathy and the desire to support others in overcoming life’s challenges?
🥶
We are delighted that our work is expanding and so we are looking for an exceptional individual to join our outdoor coaching team.
🥶
You don’t have to have been a teacher or therapist and you don’t need to have worked with children with complex needs, but if you do have any of this experience it’s a great start point.
🦋
Some knowledge of horses, small animals and the natural world is useful, but a willingness to continually learn, self reflect and be part of a close knit team are essential.
🥶
Some days are tough, but most are rewarding and fulfilling, as you experience the transformational impact that working with the natural world can have on children’s lives.
🥶
If this hasn’t put you off, then we would love to hear from you?
🐾
A letter introducing yourself and explaining why you want to do this work is always a great addition to any application too. 😊
🌳

And please share or tag anyone who you think would love to work with us.
