Connect With Exmoor Ponies & Yourself Workshops

The Exmoor ponies were amazing at the June workshop

June's Connecting With Exmoor Ponies & Yourself Workshop proved that this format works really well for both people and ponies!

Here's some feedback from some of the participants:

“Fabulous afternoon, well-organised, gentle, powerful, lovely! Meeting the ponies up close was just amazing.”
Isabel

“First class workshop. Interesting and idyllic. Dawn and co are consummate professionals. Great parent-teen bonding.”
Nancy

“What a fantastic experience. I bought this as a birthday gift for my wife who loves horses and follows Dawn's work. I am not horsey but love animals and sensed the order and balance in their feral energy, changing from an excited to settled state as they processed our own 'feral' energy. I would recommend the experience to anyone who is open, curious and happy to let go. Very rewarding afternoon. I really didn’t know what to expect but was amazed at the experience of being surrounded in a pen by so much energy from a 'wild' herd!”
John

“Thanks for a fascinating afternoon and great to meet you. The herd coming in will be a lifetime memory!”
Kathy

The next ones are on 13 July and 18 August and there are a few spaces left so please get in touch if you'd like to come!
