Despite being on standby for my first grandchild arriving anyday now, we managed to attend 2 fabulous events this weekend. Both bookings were super understanding and were booked last minute under the agreement that we may need to cancel last minute and that this could be very last minute!
Despite this, Small Ponies Big Hearts had a wonderful visit on Saturday to KCC Adult Short Breaks Meadowside summer fayre, it was lovely to see so many people and the ponies certainly put some smiles on faces, especially when Timmy decided his piano playing would become heavy rock and proceeded to turn his skills to drum playing with his foot! π€£
Sunday we attended our first birthday party, Little Leo and Tiny Tim went dressed as space ponies. The children and adults enjoyed the ponies, games and Leo's special alien π½ song! Kirsty Harman
Both very different bookings this weekend, bith equally enjoyable and fun.
Therapy sessions, meet and greet are relaxing and engaging, some time was spent just chatting with people who access the Meadowside service, whilst the ponies had a good munch πThey especially enjoyed the carrots π₯
Birthday Parties are super fun, we other bespoke packages and are happy to discuss this upon enquiry to make your birthday celebration extra special. Yesterday was Space Invaders π½ we start with a safety briefing, these are so important as despite the training we go through, we must ensure all those attending and the ponies remain safe. We then bring the birthday child up for a meet and greet and a special photo. It is then time for everyone to say hello to Little Leo and Tiny Tim, we manage this carefully and allow time for photo's.
Yesterday we played space themed games, Alien freeze, the ponies invaded and touched the person who moved, lots of fun and laughter!!
Moving on to the birthday cake, we sung happy birthday along with the ponies and then it was time for the ponies to present their special birthday gift π
During our birthday visit, the ponies still managed lots of attention from people driving past or walking down the road! It isn't every day you see space aliens π½π€£ someone even said they thought they were large dogs before approaching closer! We get this alot π€£
