Pet a Pony

Today, Pat came for her first session (Pat is the same age as me, 26 😜). However she was a little camera shy so her lovely support worker, Jade stood in for the photo. We are definitely not just for children!

Sisters Amy and Lucy sprinkled some glitter and paint on Arlo and Cupcake today - they look amazing and sparkling……, (talking of sprinkles….. 🤫)

Sunny Pet a Pony day! Holly decided using her feet was the best way to clean horse food bowls (who am I to argue…) and also prepared a limbo pole and horse course for the children for the rest of the day. Bronwen happily showed Nutmeg how to limbo! Smokey appeared to have caught horse measles? Anyone know any remedies?

The very adorable Hannah came for her session this week with the determination to learn how to fit a bridle …. She did amazing with Smokey and Arlo. Smokey was a little tall for her she took control and was even courageous enough to put her thumb in his mouth to encourage him to take the bit! A very brave and bold first attempt! Well done 👏

Here at Pet a Pony we get many children who, for a variety of reasons, can’t or don’t want to be featured on the page….. however I really wanted to share Cupcake’s recent unicorn makeover with you guys… so with a little help from Arlo, here she is having a tickle whilst being made over …😜

I couldn’t do it without you!!

No one at Pet a Pony is paid for their work, we all do it so we can help others enjoy the therapeutic nature of our horses.

Shhhh…. Bookies’ secret favourite for today’s Grand National ….. look out for her… she goes so fast the cameras won’t be able to keep up…and they’ve put holes in the fences so she doesn’t have to jump them… but she’s there today living the dream! You heard it here first! Thank you to our amazing volunteer jockey for being such a good sport

Today Olivia needed to infuse Smokey with some more energy (from her demeanour) to get him jumping nicely…. We both concluded an inspirational song could do the trick… it worked! (And yes Smokey has been living in a swamp up to his tummy 🤦‍♀️)

Pet a Pony has now changed!!!!

Our horsey sessions are still as good as always (albeit slightly fewer since breaking my wrist - oops) but we are no longer a limited company but instead we have changed to a Community Interest Company which underlines our role within the community and our not for profit goals.

Looking forward to seeing you all as Pet a Pony CIC!
