The Wild Social
A welcoming outdoor group for adults who would like to spend time around the ponies, in nature, & in good company.
What We Do to Get Moving
The Wild Social is a welcoming outdoor group for adults and young people (from age 15 +) who would like to spend time around the ponies, get outside, and get moving a little more in good company.
​
For some people, getting active starts with a short walk across the field.
For others, it might be grooming a pony, filling a haynet, helping with a simple outdoor task, or being part of a small group for an hour.
​
The sessions are calm, friendly, and practical. People can join in at a level that feels manageable, with no need to be fit, confident, or ready for a busy social group.
​
It is a gentle first step back into movement, routine, fresh air, and being around others.
​
A place to do something useful, spend time with the ponies, and feel part of a small, welcoming group.

Equine-Assisted Learning
Moments spent with the ponies help participants feel the power of calm connection, learning through touch, movement, and the quiet language of trust.
Guided Walks
Steady, sensory movement that helps participants find rhythm, pace, and calm. Walking side by side allows thinking space and natural conversation to unfold.
Sense of Acheivement
Physical action builds confidence, not through performance, but through the sense of “I did that.” Movement becomes meaningful because it achieves something.
Orienteering
Movement with purpose, light navigation and exploration that build stamina, direction, and confidence without feeling like formal exercise.
Camp Setup
Lifting, moving, tying, and creating a working base involve natural physical effort. Every action has purpose, exercise without exercise.
Tool Work
Strength, coordination, and control, using tools safely develops physical capability through focus and repetition rather than intensity.
Leave No Trace
Participants learn outdoor skills with the Leave No Trace Ethos
Woodwork
With guidance, participants shape and smooth natural materials, discovering patience and the quiet satisfaction of making something with their own hands often working in teams.
Self Expression
Hands-on tasks, creative problem-solving, and time with the ponies give space for personality to show through action rather than words. Expression becomes movement, rhythm, and contribution — real, not performed.
Mindfulness
Through still moments outdoors, breathing, noticing, listening, participants begin to feel how nature steadies the mind.
Grooming
Physical yet gentle, brushing, lifting, reaching, and moving around the ponies strengthens the body through calm, repetitive motion that soothes the mind.
Teamwork
Active cooperation, carrying, setting up, or working side by side. Group tasks keep everyone engaged, even those who prefer quiet contribution over competition.
