Collytown Therapy Ponies

Bere Alston, Tavistock, Devon

Collytown Therapy Ponies evolved from the nationally renowned Collytown Shetland Stud, run by mother and daughter Alyson and Chamaine Blamey. Their miniature Shetland ponies visit residential care homes, hospitals, schools and community organisations, offering therapeutic interaction in people's own settings—even individual bedrooms. The ponies arrive in their own horsebox, specially equipped for visits.

Alternatively, visit their tranquil therapy centre set in stunning Devon countryside for equine-assisted therapy sessions. These gentle, affectionate ponies are particularly beneficial for older people, those with autism, mobility challenges, anxiety, depression or learning difficulties. Non-confrontational and intuitive, they respond to emotion and offer genuine therapeutic benefits to people of all ages.

“Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that dark form and savage face which broke upon us out of the wall of fog.”
