Forecast is looking AMAZING this week 🔥🥵☀️. We will do as much water activities as we can this week to keep ponies and young people cool , we will also have the gazebo up for added shade .

🧴I do ask that people wear sun cream when visiting ( we do have some spare onsite just incase ), the hill can be even warmer and some times there is a good wind making it cooling but the sun is still as strong .

💦Please also remember to bring plenty of water , I will also try to keep bottles available .

🦄Due to the heat ponies will be closely monitored, if I feel it’s too warm for them they won’t be doing as many leading activities, and ponies may be returned to there field . This being said we will have as much fun as possible 🦄.

Remember they are Shetlands , so they ain’t designed for the extra heat 🥵🔥☀️🐴.

Today’s been an amazing day 💛

Wellbeing Group – today we explored the idea of “safe spaces.” We compared what makes us feel safe and then looked at our ponies’ safe spaces too. We practised walking slowly and calmly towards our ponies, stopping and stepping back when they showed signs of discomfort, gradually seeing how close we could get. It was a lovely way to reflect on our ponies’ confidence and trust in us, while also recognising that both ponies and people need time, patience, and trust before feeling comfortable with others in their space.

Steady Strides – today was all about setting ourselves up for success. We explored how breaking things down step by step can help us overcome life’s challenges and make difficult situations feel more manageable.

Private 1-1 Session – we focused on problem-solving and understanding our ponies’ immediate needs, while reflecting on how similar our own needs can be. We also explored how ponies protect each other during nap times and linked this to the importance of our own calming and supportive nighttime routines.
A day full of learning, reflection, trust, and connection 🐴
