As a certified equine assisted therapy practitioner, I guide teams through powerful experiential learning that builds:

• Team Communication & Collaboration - Learn to read non-verbal cues, coordinate effectively, and work as a unified team
• Emotional Intelligence - Develop self-awareness, empathy, and the ability to regulate emotions under pressure

Where little hands meet big hearts

A Non-Riding Program Focused on Connection and Care

Pony Pals is a unique hands-on program where children aged 5-12 discover the joy of horses through meaningful connection, not riding. Set on our peaceful 6-acre boutique farm in the Noosa hinterland, children learn the fundamentals of horse care, responsibility, empathy, and confidence while building special bonds with our gentle mini Shetlands.

This is foundation learning about horses for young kids—teaching them the essentials of horsemanship from the ground up.

Led by a certified equine assisted therapy practitioner with a Working with Children Blue Card, every session is designed to nurture kindness, courage, and a lifelong love of horses in a safe, supportive environment.
