After an incredible two years, I have decided to close The Great Little Pony Company. Managing demand and the substantial insurance and licensing obligations/admin, coupled with increased commitments with my children’s riding & sports activities, (along with running my other business!) has become unmanageable. It is time for me to slow down and refocus.
The past two years have been extraordinary. We’ve brought joy to countless children, met fascinating individuals, worked alongside celebrities (Russell Brand and Chris Evans), and had the humbling privilege of visiting elderly folks, including those living with dementia and end-of-life patients.
My mission was always to create exceptional experiences and lifelong memories with our beautiful ponies, and that we did!
Starting this business was the perfect stepping stone to move away from a corporate role. I hope we have inspired many children to continue their journey into equestrianism, a wonderful hobby and sport. The benefits of being outdoors and building bonds with such sentient animals are truly magical.
The support and five-star reviews we’ve received are a testament to what we’ve accomplished. We even got nominated for a ‘Best new start up’ award which was awesome! I am immensely grateful to my staff for their hard work, passion, and love for all things equine, which has shone through from day one.
I’m excited to further develop my accountancy business (special interest in the equine sector) albeit at a slightly slower pace than this business!
Our ponies will continue living their best lives and creating memories with my children ❤️🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
