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?Â
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:Â
- 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.

The ponies slept well last night and were keen to get back out to eat some grass this morning whilst their stables were cleaned out. The ponies have been filming for Christmas this afternoon with a 'Celebrity', and we were all surprised as Father Christmas himself also dropped by to see the Therapy ponies again this year!! It was a very busy, fun filled day. All the ponies are now out in their fields recovering from all the excitement, and we are happy, tired, and ready for a hot bath and an early night! 😴
All tucked up in bed tonight so they get lots of rest and sleep. Tomorrow is a big day as we have a very special person coming to spend some time with the ponies and hear about the incredible therapy work they have all been doing this year. We are all very excited. 😃
Poor little defenseless rubber bucket....Goodness knows why it deserved to be squashed then tossed around by Barney.And it's not even his bucket, just one that he found leaning against the wall trying to dry out after it had been rinsed!!Unless it's tied down, nothing is safe when Barney is wandering around the yard 😂
