About Us

Our Story, Our Mission, Our Animals

Meet Rebecca & Gemma

United by a shared mission: improving the emotional and educational wellbeing of children and young people. We created Shetland Pony & Friends because we have seen firsthand the incredible impact that animals and nature can have on mental health. We are passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space where everyone can thrive.

Meet the team (the animals!)

Our animals are the heart of what we do. Each one has been carefully chosen and trained for their gentle nature and affinity for therapeutic work.
