Click on the images below to find out about our beautiful team of Keysoe Cuddle Therapy Ponies:
Pippa
Pippa is our beautiful spotted mare. She is very striking and gets lots of compliments due to her unusual looks. Pippa is a dominant mare and runs the herd with her firm but fair approach. She doesn’t take any nonsense from the other ponies and has formed a very close bond with our other mare, Dinky.
Pippa is very people oriented and enjoys affection and attention. She’s also very food motivated, always on the lookout for a treat!
Trinity
Trinity is the mother of our gelding Flame. She is a very kind and patient mare who looks after the most vulnerable with real sensitivity. She is calm and quiet and has a very maternal nature with people and also with her pony pals.
Trinity is very dependable when working and can always be trusted to behave impeccably. What a good girl!
Flame
Flame is a fiery gelding who has plenty of personality! He has a beautiful chestnut coat which perfectly matches his character. He is a dominant gelding who has an opinion on everything. He is very active and benefits from being given a task to focus on. Flame is a fun character who keeps the staff on their toes!
He is the son of our mare Trinity, and they joined us as a pair. He has since grown in independence and now stands very much on his own four feet!
Teddy
Teddy is a shy and gentle pony. He’s perfect for nervous children as he is so calm and quiet. He can be reserved at times and tends to get bossed around by the rest of the herd; however, he loves people and loves to chase the staff around and play with his activity ball.
Teddy has a beautiful Skewbald coat and a long thick white mane. He really is very cuddly!
Mouse
Mouse is our quiet little guy. He is a cautious fellow but extremely calm and gentle. He’s great with the old and young alike, and is very dependable as one of our Therapy Ponies. Mouse takes time to trust any new members of staff but once he feels okay then he will do anything you ask.
He has the most striking Skewbald coat and enjoys being groomed, though a little sensitive about his ears. Mouse likes a gentle touch and takes confidence from his fellow pony friends.
Dinky
Dinky is one of our most outspoken mares! She is very people orientated and loves a fuss from anyone who will pay attention to her. She’s always the first to approach you for attention and can be very vocal; often calling the staff and her pony friends in greeting.
Dinky is definitely a bossy-boots with her fellow herd members and likes to ensure that they are all behaving. She is also the mother of our gelding Little Bob, and has passed on her lovely and unusual blanket spot coat pattern.
Dinky loves her food and will make a beeline to the juiciest and greenest grass if she can!
Little Bob
Little Bob is our blanket spot gelding and the son of Dinky. He is very inquisitive and playful and reminds us of a little schoolboy! He likes to be kept busy and enjoys attention. He will often nuzzle you, and is one of the most affection of our herd.
Little Bob must wear special glasses when he’s not working to protect his eyes from the sun, as he has a condition called Uveitis. We like to call them his Goggles!
Prince
Prince is our big brown teddy bear! He can be quite opinionated at times and likes to make his needs known. He is very dominant within the herd and ensures that the other geldings do as they are told.
Prince has a very sensitive side too though, and sometimes needs to seek people out for reassurance and affection. He loves to be groomed and will happily stand there while visitors plait his hair and decorate him!
Tinkerbella
Tinkerbella (or TInks for short) is our little Skewbald mare. She is generally quiet but can have her feisty moments when she puts her foot down! She is one of the more submissive members of the herd and prefers to follow the other ponies’ lead.
Tinks is a popular pony with our visitors, and children particularly love her fluffy mane and small size.
