Throwback to last year with St John the Baptist Primary miss these guys🐴
Wow, just received an email saying that someone has nominated us for this. I am beyond humbled that someone has taken time out to complete a nomination form for us. I have no expectations that we'll make it to the last 32 but would just like to say a huge thank you to whoever it was. Your support for what we do is appreciated beyond words.
Super excited to share these with the children today. Thanks Prudhoe Rosettes and Components
Another seriously soggy day but the children had great fun designing obstacle courses for each other..
It was the last session for some of my yr 6 children and so it was a bit emotional at times but hope we've given them a lot of good memories as they continue into secondary school 🐴🐴
HAPPY HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY SVEN💕💕🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Confidence and Teamwork today, the kids just keep getting better each week

Good luck to everyone doing Sats this week. 💕🐴
We work with some very talented children , Nutella sporting some very funky hair styles😍😍

Our waiting list is filling up so get in touch if you'd like to find out more about how we can come help you
Not sure who's going to be more excited me or the kids about using these Shires Equestrian plaiting bands 🤣🤣🥳🥳🐴🐴
4 seasons in 1 day today.. we had sun, wind rain and hailstones but our super resilient children and ponies battles through.
Seeing the children so pleased to be out with us makes this really long winter worth it 🥰🐴🦄

How did the lovely morning turn into the most hideous wet afternoon. Soggy ponies and very cold adults but the super enthusiastic children from Rosebrook Primary School were brilliant.
Let's hope we get some sunshine soon 🤞🤞
Sunshine at last... team getting a few hours out 💕 can you spot what is wrong 🤔😂😫
Hmmmmmm this is not where I left the team this morning..spring is in the air and so are the team escape tricks🤣🙈
Bit of a change in scenery ...having a lovely day out Wynyard Hall with the FSB North Yorkshire bootcamp. Meeting up with Dales Business Women Network Catch Designs ..even managed to spot some horses as an added bonus 😍😍
Happy mothers day ..😍😍
I'll be spending it mainly with my 4 legged fur babies but I might get a sit down with a bar of chocolate at some point if I'm lucky 🤣😍😍
Happy world book day.. throwback to our visit to The Globe Community Library at Stokesley .We really need to get back for a visit😍😍
If you've dressed up for the day, show us your costumes..I know we've got some fab teachers and TA's following us so share in the comments 🥳
Farrier visit for the team 😍 Boots does love a manicure 😍
Farrier visit for the team.. Next stop is bathing in readiness for the moulting season then we're good to go😍
Sooooo excited about this.. a fantastic new project to support people across Teesside ❤
Stunning start to March.. spring is almost on its way and we're on the countdown to getting back to school.
Thrilled we're going to be back Rosebrook Primary School after Easter but I'd probably better start bathing ponies now they're so filthy it will take me a few washes to get them clean.. roll on spring 🐴🐎🦄🤩🤩🛁
Sharing my current transport situation with what I aspire to have in the future.
The current team bus is a pickup with 12ft trailer, as you can imagine this can be problematic when trying to get into playgrounds and smaller sites that are not designed for vehicles.
The wagon of my dreams would allow me greater access to places , would provide me with 24/7 advertising and a most important a safe , comfortable and secure place for the ponies to travel.
If anyone has any inspirational ideas how I can turn that into reality via funding upon becoming a CIC or just buying enough visits from the team to make it happen I'd really appreciate it 🤩🤞
Did you know most of my team are rescue ponies? They came to live with me through the amazing work that Here4Horses does to improve the lives of ponies and horses.Boots, Mo, Nutella and Bruno all had very different lives before they intervened. Go check them our and see all the good work they do
This is Bruno he's very much part of the team but his past experiences mean he finds meeting new people very stressful. He doesn't go out on visits but keeps everyone in check at home.
Morning!!!
What a stunning start to the day 🤩
Isn't Sven just the cutest??? He's the baby of the team but by far the most confident, we love out little legend, never far away from his best friend Freddie either🤩🤩
Our Mission
The Tell Freddie, Tell Sven programme is like the ‘Talk to Frank’ and ‘Me Too’ campaigns but using Miniature Shetland ponies as the catalyst for creating conversations. Our aim is to make talking about mental wellbeing ‘normal’ and to remove the stigmas associated with it.
· To work with primary and senior schools, colleges and universities in the area to provide a consistent programme of mental health support that accompany children throughout their time in education.
· To promote the necessary conversations around good and poor mental wellbeing.
· To encourage people to come forward for early interventions and support.
