Series 2 Episode 35 - Poles, Piaffe & Prosecco

Welcome to May, friends! The April showers are behind us, and with a new month comes a new theme. Throughout May, we are exploring 'What Horses Do For Us'. Now, day to day, we know that our hooved friends bring immense joy to our life, but we’re going deeper than that, and I am so excited to introduce today’s special guest. Imagine if you will being elderly with no contact with animals, and feeling a small soft nose find its way into your hand. Or being contained in prison, frustrated and seeking help, and finding that help in an unlikely source: a small shaggy shetland pony. Or you have a grieving child that you can’t reach, but a small pair of fluffy ears helps that child to talk. Kingswood Shetlands and Friends was set up by Sarah Lopez, as a centre that offers equine assisted therapy, and the ponies also visit prisons and care homes. We loved talking with Sarah - her work is exceptional, and the stories are truly heartwarming.Find out more about the charity here: https://kingswoodshetlands.orgAs always, Tania answers your training questions and we enjoy a tack room tipple.
