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.
