With a very heavy heart we wanted to let you know that Prince William passed away this morning. He was the most amazing pony I have ever been blessed to work with. He touched so many lives and made everyone smile!!

He helped kids gain confidence, practice school subjects, play broom stick polo, learn how to speak and walk and so much more! Thank you for your heart Prince William. Your love has filled so many hearts and lives.

Thank you to all who loved and supported his journey in healing so many in so many ways

Prince William with his friend Bradley at Trinity Therapeutic Riding.

One of the regular students at Trinity Therapeutic Riding shared her beanie with Mr Prince William to warm up his ears during warm up! That’s what friends are for!

Prince William has been with TNT in a Heartbeat for a month now.  He has really settled in and is doing quite well as a therapy pony.  His pasturemate, Miss Sis (the lovely horse behind him in the picture below) is also a therapy horse. Our vision is to create and nurture mutually rewarding relationships between horses and individuals who are a different kind of perfect!  Therapeutic Riding sessions are conducted on a one to one basis as each person’s needs are different and each session is tailored to meet their individual needs.  There are side walkers who help to stabilise the person and the horse is matched to the rider’s ability level. 

Physical Benefits for the rider can be greater strength and agility, stretching and strengthening of underused or underdeveloped muscles. Reduced spasticity, improve balance, posture and coordination. improve weight-bearing ability. improve circulation, respiration, and metabolism. Improve fine and gross motor skills. improve reflexes. 

Sessions not only focus on the therapeutic riding skills but also the development of a relationship between horse and rider.

Should the program no longer be favorable for the horse, then the horse will return to TIER as a sanctuary horse for the remainder of its life, guaranteeing that they remain safe, loved, and cared for properly in their golden years.
