My teenage daughter had been out of school for a few years, had absolutely no confidence and was just generally struggling with everyday life when we came across this place. She attended for a couple of years, her confidence grew more each time she was there and at last she felt she had a purpose in life. She had never been around horses before but from the start was relaxed and at ease working with them. The staff were amazing, took everything at her pace and helped her gain the skills and qualifications needed to move on to the next stage of her journey.

My three children ages 5,9,10 had a fabulous session today for the firs time. Wilma an Aalyvia were very welcoming and shared their knowledge of the ponies with the kids, including teaching them how to stay safe around animals. It was such a special experience for them getting up close with the ponies and helping take care of them. They loved every aspect of it and didn’t want to leave. The ladies were so kind and even put banners out for my little girls birthday and gave her a party bag. Honestly an experience they will remember forever thank you

Just had a lovely session at Phantoms Legacy. Our wee grandson, who is not yet 2 years old is a bit timid so we thought this new experience might help with his confidence. These poor wee ones, have spent the vast majority of their lives in lockdown and need their horizons broadened and that is exactly what it did.

We were greeted by cheery smiles and on the way to the ponies Wilma chatted to the wee one telling him all about the ponies, age, sex, temperament, likes and dislikes.

We were asked to bring a favourite teddy to show the ponies and who could sit on the ponies.

When we arrived, without a backward glance he took Wilma’s hand and let the pony see his teddy and happily placed it on her back. He helped to groom, water, chatted too and patted the ponies.

When it was his turn to ride the pony he said “no thank you”. This in no way felt a failure. Wilma said “ok, not today, let’s give the ponies some carrots and some more pats and grooming”. He happily continued with what he was comfortable with, which was so much better than being force to do something that might put him off ponies for life.

He was returned to his parents a happy boy, with pictures of his success.
