Meet The Horses
Frankie
Frankie is a thoroughbred who didn’t race but played polo cross instead. He is a sensitive soul and loves a good scratch. Frankie is very vocal about his dinner and likes it to arrive on time. He is our biggest boy at 16hh.
Velvet
Velvet is our herd leader. She looks after the other ponies and has a special gift for connecting with people. Velvet has a deep wisdom about her, a strong, determined personality and a big heart. She is an amazing teacher.
Paddington
Paddington, known as Paddy, is loving life at Inspire Connections. He used to be a pony club horse and is now enjoying semi-retirement being a part of our team. Paddy brings with him his gentle nature and beautiful, unusual eyes.
Beauty
Beauty is our elderly matriach. She is a calm presence in the herd, a special friend to Velvet and everyone that meets her. Beauty has been on a recent adventure to visit new friends at a retirement village. She has a can-do attitude and bravely accepts invitations to try new things.
Tadpole
Tadpole is a 10 year old off the track thoroughbred who has recently joined us at Inspire Connections. Tadpole had a racing career (he even won a race), then learned about dressage and is now enjoying interacting with all our participants. He enjoys being brushed and hanging out with new friends
Monty
Monty is a miniature horse and 5 years old. He is learning the ways of Equine Facilitated Learning and accepting small challenges with curiosity and a little cheekiness. Monty has a keen desire to be a part of everything and meet everyone. He is one super friendly little champ.
In loving memory
In loving memory of Westie, cherished and missed member of our team and family at Inspire Connections.
West Highland Way, a noble thoroughbred, who not only had a lengthy, successful racing career, he also contributed amazing wisdom and rare qualities in his abilities to inspire and connect with all who met him.
Westie was our most senior team member and we remember him dearly and always.
