Joyful Ponies offers a range of services using miniature Shetland ponies, miniature American ponies and pygmy goats, including animal assisted therapy visits which can be to schools, nurseries child minders or care homes. Inspired by an amazing little pony called Joy that made everyone smile! Joyful Ponies are fully insured and licensed. Animal assisted activities can offer a variety of benefits t

o both children and adults. The smaller sized ponies & pygmy’s can be less intimidating and seem more approachable. Spending tine with the ponies & pygmy’s is naturally relaxing and can reduce stress, anxiety levels and blood pressure. It can also stimulate the senses and encourage the release of endorphins and positive brain chemicals like serotonin which helps to keep us happy and calm. Grooming the ponies & pygmy’s alone can increase hand dexterity, joint mobility and improve muscle strength, balance and coordination while encouraging people to communicate and talk to the ponies.

We are thrilled with the Feedback from our visit to Royal Cornhill Hospital...

"The ponies were thoroughly enjoyed by all patients and staff. We have received further requests already for the ponies to return. Staff have complimented the professional manner and non-dormitory engagement with patients from the handlers which brings great recommendations to organise return visits. The ponies were also very well kempt and not malodorous. Overall, an amazing opportunity which undoubtably brought joy and a calming atmosphere to the wards for patients and staff. Thank you Joyful Ponies & Pygmy's."
