Our Team

Tash is your therapist for all therapy and learning sessions. An approachable and compassionate mental health professional, and a mum of two boys, with a wealth of experience.

Malbec Monstar (my star in French) is more Star than Monster, which he is affectionately called for short (among other pet names). A true gentle giant, who exudes calm and safety, he is a very wise old soul, despite only being 14. “MoMo” is 17.1 hh chestnut thoroughbred, who despite his size, his gentle demeanour lends itself to working with young people who may have little or no experience with horses, and he is a true confidence builder in so many ways.

Red is an Arab cross pony who is a firm favourite with our visitors. Red has a cheeky sense of humour and is very willing and intelligent. He loves a good scratch and a cuddle.

Blue (named for her one blue eye) is a whole lot of complexity and wisdom wrapped up in a tiny bundle. Don’t be fooled by her size, she has a huge amount of wisdom to impart, especially in the area of trust and the inner child.

Maple (left), the clever and confident leader of the mini-herd, proves that despite her size, she’s tiny but mighty. Moo (right), on the other hand, is a shy young boy who adores his carrots and brings a gentle presence to the group.

Aurora is a kind and gentle 28 year old donkey and our newest addition. She loves bananas and people. 

Other Seen and Herd team members include the pack, Minnie, Ollie, Pippi, and Dottie. You might also see Dave and Marty, the feline friends about the place as well. Minni is a 10-year-old staff cross who adores people, the “mum” of the canine pack she is very insightful and always silently turns up at your side when anyone needs a hug or a cuddle.
