🧔‍♂️This Men’s Health Week we are offering “Discounts for Dads” when they attend a session with their favourite young person.
This offer includes grandparents and carers. And if you want to come individually or you’re not a Dad - that’s ok too. 🧔‍♂️🐴

You just need to book a session before June 30th 2026 for a time before July 31st 2026.

Equine Assisted Learning can improve wellbeing, anxiety and relieve feelings of depression. Amongst other benefits.

By interacting with horses through unmounted activities like grooming, feeding, and leading, participants build emotional awareness, boost mindfulness, and improve mood.

A 1 hour shared “Discount for Dads” session is just $130. 🧔‍♂️🐴
(An individual session is usually $160 and a shared session $240)

Hmmm does this remind you of a certain Pocket the Pony! 🍏🐴 🥕

Love our best boy! Pic in comments

He pauses by the doorway with that innocent little face,
Like he’s simply passing by… not casing out the place. 🐴🥕

The sign says *“DO NOT LET THE PONY IN”*
Big letters. Impossible to miss.

But judging by the look in his eyes, he considers that less of a rule… and more of a challenge.

Because somewhere beyond that door sits his true love:
Carrots.

Fresh ones. Crunchy ones. Entire baskets of them.

And this tiny four-legged criminal has spent years perfecting his strategy.

A gentle nudge here.
A distracted human there.
One suspiciously cute expression at exactly the right moment…

Then suddenly the door swings open and there’s the unmistakable sound of vegetable-related chaos.

They’ve tried locks.
They’ve tried buckets behind the entrance.
One person even stood guard with a broom.

None of it mattered.

Because ponies like this operate on determination, audacity, and an unhealthy emotional attachment to snacks. 🌿

And now he stands there once again, ears forward, pretending he has absolutely no bad intentions whatsoever.

But everyone knows the truth.

Behind those fluffy ears and that angelic little face…

Is a pony already planning his next carrot heist. ❤️
