Therapy Ponies Melbourne - Little Angels Sent From Heaven

The Angels With Hooves miniature therapy ponies have been bringing comfort and happiness since 2005.

Our therapy ponies visit hundreds of special people every year, bringing joy, comfort, affection and happiness to their lives. The benefits of the healing power from touching and seeing the ponies is undeniable.

Staff, particularly in age care centres are under more and more pressure each year and certainly also benefit from a visit with a little angel sent from heaven, so please let your staff enjoy them too.

Age Care Centres

Many of our elderly admirers enjoy meeting a pony in the lounge room. Engaging in a 'pat and chat' with a therapy pony brings obvious happiness.

Special Needs Kids

Children with special needs love the therapy pony visits at their Special Developmental Schools or other specialist organisations for kids and families.

The Well Known Benefits of Animal Assisted Activities

Cognitive & Social Benefits

Human–animal interactions spark memory, conversation, and connection, helping people share their stories and experiences. They also strengthen social and perceptual skills, fostering a deeper sense of community and independence in everyday life.

Emotional Wellbeing

Spending time with animals nurtures trust, boosts self-confidence, and provides a calming presence. It reduces stress and anxiety while releasing endorphins, lifting the mood of those who may feel isolated or low

Physical Health

Animal-assisted activities encourage gentle movement, building strength, balance, and coordination in a natural way. They can also lower blood pressure and support overall vitality through regular interaction and exercise.
