We are a leading organisation in the field of equine therapy, pony training and children’s natural horsemanship.
Through educating young people in how to communicate with a pony and ride in balance we empower them to develop confidence, resilience and powerful communication skills.
Our approach is inclusive of all children but is proven to be life-changing for vulnerable children referred through social services, schools, the Youth Justice services, and the NHS’s mental health services.
We moved into our brand-new purpose-built flagship Centre in 2022 and are now reaching over 160 children each week, through both the Mainstream Holistic Riding School and Youth Development Program.
Our Programs are supported and endorsed by the Big Lottery Fund, and we have received awards from Child Friendly Leeds and have been recognised as the Best Equestrian Business by the Yorkshire Post Awards. We have also recently received the Kings Award for Voluntary Services and have been shortlisted for Riding School of the Year in the Equestrian Business Awards.
Alongside the Riding School we have an interactive online club, with over 100 horsemanship badges, designed for both the students that ride with us and those that don’t. We have members worldwide both with and without their own ponies. For more information about Think Like a Pony please visit our website: www.thinklikeaponyclub.co.uk
