Pony experiences

My pony experience

A few years ago I finally fulfilled my childhood dream of having a pony. The two native ponies, Mackie and Freya, that now live with us on the croft on the Isle of Mull are such an enjoyable presence in our lives.


And it was in noticing that they were a delightful and calming presence for others too that led me to work towards and recently complete a Certificate in Therapeutic Groundwork with Equi-Scotia.


The photo to the left (credit: David Ho Photography) is of my giving and receiving a heart hug with a beautiful horse as part of the Equi Scotia course. 


Being around horses and ponies brings a calming and healing presence to my life. I'd love for you to experience that too.

Your pony experience

Come on a journey through the forests and woodlands of Mull, with Mackie, Freya and Wendy. 


It can be just that, a walk* in the woods with some ponies. That may be all you want or need just now. 


And/ or it can also be a guided development or spiritual direction journey. This might include some simple practices or activities with the ponies. 


Or just a gentle invitation to notice and attend, with curiosity, to what you notice. Get in touch to explore what that might be possible and suitable for you just now.


*Note this is a non-ridden equine experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please get in touch at contact@mullanotherway.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

This is not Equine Facilitated Therapy. It is Equine Facilitated Guided Development or Spiritual Direction. The exercises and the experience with ponies are often therapeutic in nature but this will not be a therapy session. 

I also offer Spiritual direction without ponies.


No, this is a non-ridden equine experience. If you'd like to go on a horse or pony trek contact our friends at the excellent Mull Pony Trekking. 


More information on the locations coming soon!


I would be honoured to facilitate a session for you, at a local discounted rate. Please do get in touch and we can explore together what would be most useful for you.  


Most certainly. A single session is possible, this would be approximately 1.5 hours. This would allow time for us to connect and explore a question you may be bringing to our time with the ponies. And have a journey and activity with the ponies too.


Or perhaps you're on Mull for a week or a weekend and you might wish to have a number of shorter sessions. Get in touch and we can explore what would be most helpful. For example, you could book yourself into our Yurt on the croft on Mull and have a short session each day with the ponies.


Of course! To go for walk with some ponies through a wood is often all that we need. It can help to take us out of our often over analytical minds and into our bodies and our surroundings. Or is that just me?!? 


I operate on a sliding scale. A single session with the ponies for 1.5 hours ranges from £90 - £110. Depending on where we meet, there may be an additional charge to cover my fuel costs. 


A shorter 45 minute session operates on a sliding scale from £50 - £70. These shorter sessions will be on or nearby our croft.


But please don't let finances be a barrier. Get in touch to discuss options.


Some water to keep yourself hydrated. Waterproof coat and trousers is always a good idea in Scotland. And sun screen - you never know! And make sure you wear walking boots or something to protect your toes. I'll run through a full safety briefing before or at the beginning of the session. You might also find it helpful to have your journal with you, if you journal, just to capture and process something of the session soon after it ends.
