😎Haggis is back to business😎.
Haggis looking very distinguished today on our first weekend back to work of the year!
He has missed his busy, social lifestyle and was so keen to say hello today. We are currently offering private sessions at the paddocks where you can meet the animals and even take a pony out round our area to explore if you wish.
If you would like more information or to book a private session (whether it be during the week or at a weekend), please email us on [email protected].
We are so excited for the year to come🦄🩷.

💥HAPPY NEW YEAR💥.
Wishing a happy and healthy 2025 to our families, friends, volunteers and every single person who visits our ponies!
We had a lovely (but short!) Christmas break but are back to business now! The ponies are enjoying the last part of their own Christmas break before they begin working duties again.
We are already seeing a surge in booking for the first half of this year so if you have an event in mind for the ponies to attend please do contact us as early as possible to avoid disappointment!
We are also going to add a new list of dates for Pony Adventures so keep your eyes peeled!
Lots of love and pony cuddles🦄.

💙bro besties💙.
Haggis and his best mate Keir out exploring today! The last of our adventures for 2024!
The ponies have enjoyed some down time over Christmas and will have another month or so to chill out and cause havoc with their friends before they come back into work!
The ponies are so good at their jobs and work so hard, it’s super important they have down time with their friends in the field so they can just be ponies for a while and switch off. Everyone is always surprised if they see the ponies on one of their days off, they are full of personality and up to no good! But of course they quickly switch to best behaviour on a work day!
Happy New Year to you all when it comes. We are so thankful for your support this year and look forward to an even busier 2025🎉💙.

🎄Merry Christmas🎄.
Thank you to each person who has supported us this year, it’s been full on to say the least!
We are signing off for our Christmas break but will be looking forward to seeing you all again in the New Year. We are excited for the thought of 2025 and eager to follow our ponies on their next year of adventures!
In the meantime enjoy this picture of our girl Starry- who loved her first set of Christmas events this year!
Lots of love and animal cuddles,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Alex & Drew.

A small write up that means so much to us both.

Never did I think that my impulsive Christmas gift for Mum would shape our lives as much as he has. I am so proud of Haggis from being terrified and unhandled to a talented therapy pony- you can’t teach it he just has the magic, as does his best friend and granny figure- Squiggles.

We are learning every day, tired and muddy most of the time but it is so worth it to see our team out spreading smiles.

To our therapy ponies: you spread magic each and every day🪄. You are making our dreams come true.

To our friends, family and volunteers who are mad enough to support us on each new idea we want to run with - we couldn’t do this without you🦄🩷.

The two ponies, Haggis and Squiggles, from Alba Therapy Ponies recently visited Bridge View House at the city's Riverside.

🤍special moments🤍.
On every single visit the ponies do there is always at least one.. special moment.
Where horse and human connect and a deep sense of healing is felt🤍.
Sometimes there are no words to describe what is happening in a photograph but it speaks for itself…
Pictured is of our ponies spreading their magic🪄.

🎅CHRISTMAS HAGGIS🎅.
Haggis being one of Santas best helpers a few weekends ago at Falkland Winter Festival.
The ponies had such a busy December going to 26 visits/ events between the 1st-15th!!
We are so grateful for all of your support and giving our ponies so many opportunities to spread smiles. We already have so much interest for next years Christmas bookings so do keep us in mind for your markets, festivals and grottos🥰. .

Our ponies have been so lucky to travel in style throughout this year. We were luckily able to hire the trailer for our busy 10 days of back to back bookings this month!
It really does take an army to get the ponies out to all of their visits but it’s so worth it!

🎄SUCCESSFUL CHRISTMAS WEEK🎄.
Wow! What a successful and busy week of Christmas visits!

The adventures of Haggis and Squiggles continues🩷

🐴 Alba Therapry Ponies🐴

Today we were joined by "Haggis" and "Squiggles". This was a great experience where each room had time with the horses and were able to clap, brush and meet both Shetland ponies.

We would like to thank ALBA Therapy Ponies for bringing Haggis and Squiggles to see us 🎅☃️🎄
