About Us

What is The Peaceful Pony?

The  Peaceful Pony begins with Equine Facilitated Therapy. 


Equine Facilitated Learning is an experiential learning approach that promotes the development of life skills for educational, professional, and personal goals through equine-assisted activities.


It is the process of learning about oneself and how one is in the moment – developing self-awareness. Therefore, once aware, we can explore what happens when we change. Most importantly, we can nurture the skill of self-regulation. 


Holly, the founder of The Peaceful Pony, is a Qualified Mental Health Nurse specialising in Equine Facilitated Therapy, Mindfulness, Behavioral  Family Therapy, Personal Coaching and Solution Focused Approaches.


The Peaceful Pony works with Children, Teens, and Adults (those young at heart) to encompass a range of therapeutic treatments that involve activities with horses, to promote human physical and mental wellbeing. We are happy to support acute illness and different levels of risk (following a prior assessment of needs). 


Different activities will explore a person's own coping mechanisms, learning and reactive approaches to events that affect their lives. 


In a confidential, safe and supportive environment, Holly, with the help of the peaceful ponies will support the client through a journey of self-reflection, education and recovery.


The Peaceful Pony now works with  different animals in the deliverance of therapy sessions, such as our three therapy dogs, rabbits and even reptiles!

How did The Peaceful Pony begin?

The Peaceful Pony was born when Holly, the founder of The Peaceful Pony, found Maggie. Maggie is an incredibly special horse that touched Holly's heart in her own deep and dark moment.


Maggie supported Holly during this time and helped her to find her way out of her darkness and come back fighting stronger than ever before. 


Therapy and horses go perfectly together, with lots of research to back up the psychological benefits. 


For Holly and the team at The Peaceful Pony, Equine and other Animal Facilitated Therapy is about bringing healing to any person that needs it.
