Picture
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.





                      New this year - Sponsor a Pony!                                                                                    Our lovely ponies are asking for sponsors to help them bring joy and happiness to people who need it. They don't need any money for themselves but want to help Ponies for People offer and deliver pony fun activities.
For £15 per year you will receive a sponsorship pack including:
  • certificate of sponsorship
  • pony profile
  • a postcard of your pony
  • your pony's story
  • fridge magnet
  • Christmas card
  • an invitation to visit  your pony to brush and stroke him - you will get a rosette on this visit                                                                                                                                                                    Call Chris on 07527 241627 for details

Peers Clough Packhorses -Ponies for People has funding to offer pony experiences to women and children living in refuges.

which when they have gone through what they have, is brilliant to  achieve "

Mikey is a severely autistic young man who rides regularly at the farm on our patient pony, Danny. 

Mikey has a team of three carers to support his challenging and complex needs.

Danny usually manages to put a smile on Mikey's face!
