We Ihink that this slalemenl received direct from ono parent. What C¢X•kie means lo us" Is as helpful as can
be lo explain the impact ol the City Farm.,
"Cookiè isn't just a 'pony ride, for 'A'. Cookio is therapy. A 15 three ye8rs old and is aulislic. He struggles
everyday with his condition. Most limgs before we gel to Cookie. A Can be in a overwhelmed slate due lo his
autism - however this overwhelming stale instsnlly calms as soon as he spots Cookie. A then chooses the
helmet ho needs lo wear, which lea¢hes him rules ol safety. Then he's ready lo be pul on Cookie and this is
where the 'magic' happens. Stat151ically, individuals on the spectrum don't show their emotions loo easily, so
when A smiles the instant he 15 sal on Cookie, this as a mum lo A, is worth so much more than anyone could
under$¢and. Cookie's pony rides also promote A's language skills. He is non.verbal bul when he rides, he
'clicks' lo the movement. He can say'cookie. which he does when he sees her He now also says 'hor$e' and
sounds 'neigh' so not only is cookie an emotional support, she also encourages A In so many other ways. I
would also lik8 to write a little about what I gel from this. As a Single mother in rKeipl of benefits due lo rny
physical and mental health, I wouldn't ever be able lo afford lo give A this experience bul with Sl James Farm
I can.. .Nol only as we are in a 'cosl of living, crisis, bul we are in the group ol 'poorer income and a￿8,. The

incredibly kind. knowledgeable and giving with their lime. They all take the lime lo allow A and I lo inleracl
with all the animals that we also love so much. Especi811y Karen who has constant paliencfj and
understanding of A's needs. Karen has also not only supported A during the rides, but myself too. Karen has
been a listening ear lor n)e, in times I really needed lo share bul had no one to share with. My little one and I
have both benefited so much from these experiences and are both forever grateful"
Whilst this is just one of many positive Storie5 we receNed feedback from, towards the end ol year. we also
faced a combination of adverse weather, staff changes and sickness in the animals. As reported in the
previous year, Imran Icoordinaltsrl wa$ also scheduled lo leave. His involvement overseeing the farm and
also managing the horse-riding school, meant that we were not in a position lo continue wilhoul him and there
wa$ no smooth Iran511ion that could be arranged We therefore had lo lernporarily close some of the activitie5
al the f8rm and rehome all the animals, temporarily or permanently. We have therefore been using this as an
opportunity lo consult with local people about the best ways lo resiart and this is where we are al this
moment. Although the farm closed lo the public on a daily basis, the farm coffee shop was open during the
Summer/Auturnn and several consultation events have been held, with a handful of volunteers COn￿nuing lo
try and maintain the grounds.
