At Animal Therapy Ireland, we deeply love and care for our ponies, who are more than just animals—they are gentle companions who brighten the lives of everyone they meet. Through their presence, our ponies provide emotional support, reduce stress, and help people feel more connected and happier in their daily lives!

We offer a unique opportunity for people to connect with our gentle ponies in a calm, nurturing environment. Our ponies are not ridden, but instead are a source of comfort, companionship, and emotional healing.
Spending time with these beautiful creatures can have a profound impact on emotional well-being, providing a sense of peace, relaxation, and joy. Whether it’s taking a peaceful walk along the estuary, enjoying the fresh air on the beach, or simply grooming them in the field, the ponies offer a therapeutic connection that is both grounding and uplifting.
The bond between humans and horses is special, and research has shown that spending time with these animals can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and promote feelings of happiness and calm. The act of grooming or walking with the ponies helps participants feel present in the moment, fostering mindfulness and emotional balance.
Our ponies have a unique ability to connect with individuals, offering unconditional acceptance and a non-judgmental presence that helps build confidence and trust. Interacting with horses can also encourage social connections and improve communication skills, as the ponies respond to gentle cues and positive reinforcement. This creates a safe, supportive space where people can open up, reflect, and simply enjoy the moment.
Whether you’re seeking solace, relaxation, or a chance to build a deeper connection with animals, spending time with our ponies offers a wonderful opportunity to nurture your emotional well-being. Join us for an experience that will leave you feeling more centered, uplifted, and connected.
