The Peaceful Pony (CIC) Therapy and Alternative Education Centre - Early years and education

The Peaceful Pony (TPP) works with children, teens, and adults to encompass a range of therapeutic treatments that involve activities with horses, therapy dogs, rabbits and reptiles to promote human physical and mental wellbeing. We are happy to support acute illness and different levels of risk (following a prior assessment of needs).

In a confidential, safe and supportive environment, Holly, with the help of the peaceful ponies will support the client through a journey of self-reflection, education and recovery.

Alternative education services:

Specialist Alternative education services run from our Ingatestone site and outreach in the community. We work with children aged 5 to 25 with or without an EHCP.

We have two pathways; a Talking therapy only and Learning and Therapy combined. The pathway a child will come to us on will depend on collaborative assessments as well as risk.

Our service is aimed to support young persons through the transitional needs and support struggles children may have which means they can not be in school for whatever reasons.

TPP will support growth in confidence, low level to high-level emotional wellbeing support, employment skills, social skills, time management, animal care experience, and many more. We are proud to be working in partnership to award qualifications (AQA) for experiences achieved at TPP.
