Emotional Support Ponies

​

       Our wellbeing visits offer a unique way to help students manage stress, build confidence, and

improve emotional regulation. By interacting with our gentle ponies through

guided mindfulness, peaceful connections and gentle grooming, students can relax,

gain emotional insight, and feel heard and in turn more understood.

Spending time with our miniature ponies creates a safe, non-judgmental space for

students to explore their feelings, develop social skills, and boost self-esteem.

​

Pathway Ponies’ approach is a calming and supportive way to

enhance mental health and personal growth within the school environment.

Our ponies come to you, meaning more children and young people can access and

benefit from an Emotional Support Pony

Available as regular session or on a ad hoc basis

​

Equine-Assisted Learning Programmes

​​

Our programmes are meticulously designed to support students to develop crucial life skills like communication, teamwork, resilience and problem-solving by working with our miniature ponies

to overcome non ridden challenges. Through activities like guiding the horse and observing

its behaviour, students learn about of the importance of self improvement, self care, setting

boundaries, friendships, accepting others and working together.

​

Our ponies give immediate feedback though their body language which students find

non confrontational and helps them grow in a fun and supportive way. Science shows that

this type of hands-on, experiential learning can reduce stress, improve emotional regulation,

and build reliance, self worth and confidence.

It’s a powerful, science-backed approach to learning that’s both engaging and effective.

​

Available as 6 - 12 week 1 hour weekly programmes at our stables in Wendover, Bucks
