Tobi & Peanut
Pony Agility Northern Ireland
At Tobi & Peanut Therapy Ponies we offer Pony Agility for children and adults across Northern Ireland. Pony Agility is a fun and engaging activity where children and adults like guide ponies through a series of ground-based obstacles such as cones, tunnels, bridges, and weaving poles. It’s a gentle, hands-on way to develop trust, communication, and confidence — all while spending quality time with our therapy ponies.
Unlike horse riding, agility is done on foot, allowing children and adults to work alongside the ponies as partners. This encourages calm leadership, emotional regulation, and teamwork, making it an ideal activity for children who may struggle with anxiety, low confidence, or social communication difficulties.
Whether it's part of a tailored school programme or a private wellbeing session at Kate’s peaceful setting, pony agility offers a playful, rewarding way for children to build essential life skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Who is Pony Agility For?
Pony agility is suitable for children and adults of all ages and abilities across Northern Ireland. Whether a child is neurodivergent, and adult struggles with confidence or anxiety, or if you simply loves animals, this activity is designed to meet your emotional needs.
Each session is tailored to the individual, making it a great fit for children with additional needs, including autism, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, or those recovering from trauma. We also welcome children who just need a bit of space to grow, explore, and build new skills in a calm, supportive environment.
Sessions can additionally be part of our school wellbeing programmes or booked privately at Kate’s peaceful premises. The ponies gently guides and children are encouraged to move at their own pace, learn through connection, and celebrate small wins that make a big difference in their everyday lives.
