THINK LIKE A PONY

Think Like a Pony is an organisation which specialises in equine therapy, pony training and children’s natural horsemanship.  Their aim is  to empower young people through horsemanship.  
The Think Like a Pony ethos is based around learning to respect self, respect others and take responsibility for ones' own actions. 
By learning how ponies communicate and form relationships, children and young people have an opportunity to reflect and improve on their own communication and relationship skills.  
Hannah was a Think Like A Pony instructor for several years, as well as being taught by Lynn Henry (the founder of Think Like a Pony) as a child.  A lot of the equine therapy work we do at Transitions is influenced by the approach, and the horses and ponies are all trained with Think Like a Pony method.  
We use some of Think Like a Pony club content within our Alternative Provision sessions particularly around body language and relationship building. For those students who are interested in building upon what they learn at Transitions we recommend that they become a member of the Think Like a Pony club. This gives them access to an online horsemanship club where they can work towards badges across a whole range of horsemanship topics.
