PONY PARTNERS

Pony Partners is a 501 C 3 nonprofit organization in Louisa, Virginia, that brings people together with miniature horses through horsemanship activities to help children and adults discover their uniqueness and strengths, improve self-esteem and build confidence, while experiencing the unconditional acceptance these gentle horses offer.

The purpose of Pony Partners is...

• To provide opportunities for children and adults to learn basic unmounted horsemanship;
• To help children and adults discover their uniqueness, improve self-esteem and build confidence while enjoying the unconditional acceptance of their horse friend(s).
• To provide children and adults opportunities to participate in activities designed to enhance and build on each person’s natural curiosity and creativity and to develop strengths to thrive in life.

We have children and families come as individuals or as school groups to enjoy time with the ponies. Each person comes with different interest, hopes and goals. No matter what the ponies offer unconditional love, genuine interest and support each person as they are in the moment.

Volunteers help keep the ponies and our farm ready with grooming, stall cleaning, grounds maintenance and some training and other tasks. Some volunteers help with events, fundraising, grant applications and more.
