Events 2021
Due to Covid restrictions there will be no events in 2021.
However,our lottery funded Refugee programme will run weekly from April.
Inspiring Grace will start weekly at the end of May.
We are grateful to the National Lottery Awards for All for sponsoring these




​ programmes.
Working with ponies outdoors is a great way to bring people back together, promote trust and friendship, and inspire confidence in self and others.

Ponies for People is our constituted, not for profit group, aimed at raising funding to deliver the therapeutic benefits of horsemanship to a wider and more diverse audience.







“There is nothing so good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horse”

Ponies do not make judgements about people based on their age, gender, colour, creed, social background, intelligence, wealth or status, only on the person you really are.
By working with them we can engender a sense of worth and value in our clients.
