Dinky Ponies
Meet Sarah: Founder and Driving Force of Dinky Ponies
"A few years ago, I was gifted a couple of mini-Shetland ponies, which sparked the idea to start a small business with them. From there, everything fell into place! Today, I am proud to say that I have a team of six mini-Shetland therapy ponies. We regularly visit people in care homes, special schools, hospitals, and children's homes, bringing joy wherever we go.
"The ponies are small enough to enter buildings and interact with residents up close and personal. We frequently visit bedrooms, using elevators to reach individuals who are bedridden or unable to leave their rooms, granting them the rare opportunity to engage with animals firsthand. We spend quality time chatting and bonding with them.
"I absolutely adore my job. It's incredibly fulfilling, and the doors it opens and the people it connects me with are truly remarkable aspects of it."
