*Friday Slot* Come and have a cup of tea with two of our lovely RDA ponies. Dementia friendly activity. Open to book to 1 group or care home.
What is Tea With a Pony?
Tea With a Pony is a gentle, one‑hour enrichment activity designed for older adults, people living with dementia, and/or individuals with physical or learning disabilities. The session offers relaxed, low‑pressure interaction with our horses in a calm, fully accessible environment.
Participants can enjoy:
• A raised seating area with clear views of the horses
• Warm drinks, refreshments, and optional craft activities
• A friendly, social atmosphere with our trained staff and volunteers
• The opportunity (for those who wish) to safely stroke the horses behind a barrier
After meeting the horses, groups are welcome to finish their teas or enjoy a packed lunch.
