The Kids Pony Foundation is a local charity established to promote and improve the physical, mental and emotional health wellbeing and development of children and young people with disabilities and special needs through horse and pony riding and other equine assisted activities. It is proven that horse riding can greatly assist in the development of physical, emotional, social, cognitive, behavioural and educational skills.

Achievements & Performance
-Summary of main achievements of charity – identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.
Since June 2014 we have provided riding lessons for over (insert number) children and young people, working with parents and local schools. We regularly hold open days and pony camps for the children and we are grateful to all of our dedicated volunteers who make this possible. It is wonderful to receive feedback from parents and health professionals on the benefits of these activities for the children and to witness the pure enjoyment of the kids.
Since moving to our new “home” in 2016 we have grown exponentially and are helping more children than ever. We rely heavily on fundraising and donations to finance our work with the children.
