Ponies Help Children

In year 2000 my mum retired from running our Bed and Breakfast business and she had lots of time on her hands so she started rescuing horses & ponies and turning their life experience and opinions of people around.
Because these horses have been abused and now have learned to trust and love again they can relate to people/children who also need to learn to trust and love again. They understand much more than we humans do!
Our horses are very happy and know that they belong to us but we know that their experiences help and encourage some children to love, be loved and therefore improve their self esteem.
We now work with Hope for Autism, where the children on the ASD come and groom/care for the ponies and benefit from the their calm presence. The results are amazing.
