Pixie & Pickles Adventures offers a unique service using Shetland Ponies.
We visit your home or establishment with selected ponies for therapy visits. Our ponies even have special pants to wear so that we can avoid mishaps! Our ponies are kind, gentle and loveable and adore their role as therapy ponies.
So what are therapy ponies and how can they help?
Studies have shown that human interaction with animals provides many benefits in all age groups. The presence of animals not only improves a person’s emotional health but also physical.
Horses are known to be sensitive and intuitive and they mirror human emotions.
Horses allow people to relax as they accept everyone without judgement.
Benefits of Pony therapy include:
- Lowers anxiety and stress
- Stimulates endorphins helping depression
- Reduces blood pressure
- Stimulates memory
Our ponies can visit:
- Care homes
- Womens refuge’s
- Mens refuge’s
- Hospitals
- Hospices
- Schools
- Private homes
We can also come along to your event! Get in touch for more information.

Our 1st full day of Christmas visits went extremely well. Even though it is only the 1st of December and yet again it was wet and windy, the festive spirit was definitely felt by everyone. Christmas trees were beautifully decorated with lights, tinsel and baubles. Christmas music was playing and it was wonderful to listen to our older generation reminiscing about how they spent their Christmas as a child. How things have changed!! Everybody adored Charlie and Arthur and they looked so cute in their Christmas rugs and hats. We are really looking forward to seeing everybody at our other booked visits this month.![]()
