Well done to all the runners today, it was great to see everyone smiling at the half way point! 🏃‍♀️🐴🐐

🏃We had a fantastic time supporting the Chippenham Half Marathon as the runners passed by Happy Hooves HQ at the halfway point! 🎉 Our cheers certainly lifted spirits and the runners loved meeting the horses & Rach Bailey’s Bubbles the goat who also joined in on the fun. 🐐💜

It was wonderful to also meet the Allsorts Community Choir who were lifting spirts with their singing and the local Brownies. We even had a special visit to the Brownie Centre, where the children got to meet Vino, Bryan & Bubbles. 🐴🐴🐐

Community events like these mean so much & it’s always a joy to bring smiles, connection, and a touch of Happy Hooves magic to the day. 🌈✨

✅ Fully licensed with Wiltshire Council (LC202503-157853)
✅ Fully insured & DBS checked
✅ Horses wear special bags to collect any accidents so no mess!
✅ Visits can take place inside or out so can go into a large classroom/sports hall if the weather isn’t on our side.

💡 Our horses are brilliant therapists, helping children in many different ways:
• Build confidence and communication
• Reduce anxiety and stress
• Develop social and emotional skills
• Experience joy, wonder and curiosity

And it’s not just the children who benefit, teachers and staff often find the visits just as therapeutic and rewarding! 🌈

Vino & Bryan have been out together today, an autumn fayre at a local home.

🌟💜 Please Vote for Vino – Horse & Hound Awards 💜🌟

There are horses that touch your heart, and then there are horses that change lives. Our beautiful Vino is one of those rare souls. She isn’t just a horse, she is a best friend, a healer, and a quiet miracle in the lives of everyone who meets her.

Vino has the rarest of gifts: an innate ability to sense exactly what a person needs, even when they cannot say it themselves. With children and young people who are non-verbal, autistic, or struggling with overwhelming emotions, Vino’s presence is nothing short of magical. She lowers her head, softens her eyes, and suddenly walls begin to crumble. A child who has never spoken will reach out a hand. A teenager locked in anxiety will begin to smile. Parents cry as they see their child connect in a way they never thought possible.

She brings laughter and light into care homes, gently resting her nose on the hand of an elderly resident who hasn’t spoken for weeks, stirring memories and sparking conversations thought to be lost forever. She walks calmly into schools and hospitals, creating moments of calm in environments that are often stressful and overwhelming. Wherever she goes, she leaves behind a trail of hope, comfort, and joy.

Vino is truly the horse of a lifetime — not just mine, but for every single person whose life she has touched.

👉 Please take just a few minutes to give her the recognition she deserves by casting your vote for her at HORSE OF A LIFETIME AWARD by following the link.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Vino and helping us shine a light on the incredible work she & her friends does every day. 💜🐴
