☀️🐴 Hot Weather at Shelly Equine Assisted Therapy 🐴☀️

With the warm weather expected over the next few days, the welfare of our horses, ponies, riders and visitors is our top priority.

Our horses and ponies will have access to plenty of fresh water, shade, fly protection and regular welfare checks throughout the day. Lessons and activities may be adapted to suit the weather, ensuring everyone stays safe and comfortable.

We kindly ask all visitors to:
💧 Bring a water bottle.
🧢 Wear suitable clothing, sunscreen and a hat where appropriate.
🐴 Arrive a few minutes early to allow time to cool down and settle before sessions.
🌞 Let us know if you or your child are feeling unwell in the heat.

The wellbeing of both our horses and our clients always comes first, and we will continue to monitor the weather closely over the coming days.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Stay safe, stay hydrated and enjoy the sunshine! ☀️💙

As we start a new week, we’d like to take a moment to celebrate the incredible benefits that horses bring to our wellbeing.

At Shelly Equine Assisted Therapy CIC, we see every day how spending time with horses can improve confidence, reduce anxiety, support emotional wellbeing, encourage social interaction and help people feel calm and connected.

We’d also like to recognise all of the amazing families, carers and support networks who help make a difference in the lives of the people we work with. Your support means everything. 💙

Whether you’re joining us for a riding lesson, therapy session, home education session, Pony Care Club or simply spending time with our wonderful horses, remember to take a little time for yourself this week.

✨ Celebrate the small wins
✨ Be kind to yourself
✨ Spend time outdoors
✨ Take a moment to breathe
✨ Remember that progress is progress, no matter how small

🐴✨ Another busy and rewarding day at Shelly Equine Assisted Therapy CIC! ✨🐴

Today we’ve been busy with riding lessons, equine-assisted therapy sessions, and our home education group, helping people of all ages build confidence, learn new skills, and enjoy time with our wonderful horses.

A special highlight of the day was Tiny Tom’s visit to Harmony Day Services, where he brought plenty of smiles, cuddles, and joy to everyone he met. ❤️

We are so grateful to be able to share the therapeutic benefits of horses within our community and see the positive impact they have every day.
