Smile Pony Therapies team, Kathy Kay and Lynn, plus Leo the therapy pony

Our highly experienced team includes Kay, a BHS instructor, Lynn, an accredited member of the National Council of Psychotherapists and Kathy, an intelligent horsemanship trained coach.

We all work together to help spread smiles and happiness to those that need it most.

We have a pony team of six, all with unique characters and a love of meeting new people. The ponies were all rescued by Millhouses Animal Sanctuary in Sheffield, and came to us for a fresh start. We helped them, and now they help us to help others.

They even love to dress up as unicorns!

Pony therapy sessions can provide a huge amount of benefits to everyone, but is particularly beneficial to young/elderly people and people with mental or physical disabilities.

We can provide pony therapy sessions in a variety of locations, from care homes to hospitals, group visits or private. If you prefer, you can also come to us.

 
What an incredible organisation you are! Seeing the impact beautiful Larry & Leo has had on our members with dementia at Age UK Sheffield’s Wellbeing Centre has moved myself & my team deeply. It has been a joy to witness our members be so engaged with the boys
