Whether it’s building confidence, learning how to care for them or simply enjoying a quiet moment together, every visit is special in its own way.

We love seeing the smiles and connections that grow here at Shelly Equine. What’s your favourite thing to do with the ponies? 😊

🐴💚 WHAT IS EQUINE-ASSISTED THERAPY & WELLNESS AT SHELLY EQUINE? 💚🐴

It’s time to slow down, connect with horses and enjoy a little space away from everyday pressures 🌿

Sessions can include grooming, leading, learning about horse care, spending quiet time with the horses and, where suitable, riding. You don’t need any horse experience—and you don’t have to ride to take part.

We work at your pace, with activities tailored to your needs and comfort. Sessions offer opportunities to:

💚 Build confidence
💚 Practise communication and trust
💚 Explore feelings and develop coping skills
💚 Enjoy fresh air, gentle activity and connection
💚 Spend time doing something just for you

We welcome children and adults, including people with SEND, and we’re happy to discuss what support would help you take part.

🍂 October one-to-one taster: £25 for 45 minutes, usually £35.
