August 8, 2026

Meet the Dinky Ponies, a team of tiny Mini Shetland therapy ponies in the UK who are bringing comfort, connection, and happiness to people in care homes, hospitals, schools, and children's homes.

Founded by Sarah Woodland, Dinky Ponies uses the incredible bond between humans and horses to support mental, physical, and cognitive wellbeing. What started with just a couple of ponies has grown into a team of seven special animals, each with their own personality and unique way of making people smile.
