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.

  • promote education and wellbeing through working with ponies in an atmosphere of care, trust, respect and friendship                                      
  • provide opportunity and access for marginalised individuals and groups

yesterday give them time out to feel normal and content for a few hours,
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!
