We had a fantastic day with The Veterans Farm-Able Foundation and their group of veterans and serving military personnel. The sensory garden is getting a makeover after some very kind donations of turf and a beautiful picnic bench and the equine assisted intervention work with our rescue ponies was really beneficial. What was really interesting was the choice our service users made in their ponies. They just happened to choose the two sassiest ponies on the yard who turned out to be just what they needed. We worked on leadership skills and some amazing progress was made for both people and ponies. Horses really are incredible to work alongside and help improve human well-being. We ended the day with a body scan and some mindfulness with our lovely Hazel in the fields, surrounded by ponies, wildlife and sunshine. A very productive and thoroughly enjoyable day all-round. Huge thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund for making this project and positive changes possible.
