So What Are The Benefits?

Pony therapy is extremely beneficial for our clients due to equines being able to replicate and mirror the behaviour of an individual, this teaches individuals about their own behaviours that they are usually unaware of allowing us to bring about a variety of benefits to the individual.
An important quality of equine therapy is the lack of judgement that individuals feel from animals, this often allows them to feel acceptance and mutual respect within their sessions. Delilah also specialises in bringing everyone a smile throughout her sessions.

The benefits of horse assisted therapy include:

  • Relieving stress, depression, and anxiety via endorphin release,
  • Improving self-esteem, confidence, and trust,
  • Improving levels of communication and sharing,
  • Improving mental and physical health,
  • Building better connections with animals,
  • Encouraging empathy,
  • Increased understanding and management of emotions,
  • Encouraging relationship building,
  • Reduced blood pressure
  • Delilah always brings a smile to everyone’s face

Delilah is a delight!!!! Would recommend this service to any social care provider

Clare Moone

We loved this heartwarming picture of our Optician, Dee, at Brooklands House Care Home in Blackpool, where he was not only taking care of the residents' eyes but also spreading joy and happiness having fun 'testing' the visiting miniature horse. It's always great to see people going above and beyond their job description to make a difference in other people's lives. It reminds us that even small actions can have a big impact.
