Founded in 2009 in Leeds, Think Like a Pony CIC delivers relationship-focused horsemanship, Youth Development, and Family Development programmes. They support children, young people, and families facing mental health challenges, SEND, bereavement, or trauma to build resilience, empathy, and emotional regulation alongside ponies.
Operates from Otley Old Road, Horsforth, Leeds (LS18 5HZ), with a sister centre in Cornwall (Think Like a Pony South West). Built around three pillars—Respect for Self, Respect for Others, and Responsibility—the CIC provides therapeutic Youth Development, Family Development sessions, Alternative Provision, and an ethical, relationship-based riding school.
