Unfortunately we don't have good news for our stallion Robson 🥺 Due to physical issues which he appears to be suffering from, together with our vet we have decided that Robson will not be fit to travel and therefore won't be rehomed abroad as we would have hoped. It is very likely that he will have to remain with us as was the case for so many horses that we didn't believe would handle the travelling and life in the UK very well due to physical issues or other medical reasons. This is partly the reason why we have around 80 horses in our care because while we rehome as many as possible abroad there are always horses which we cannot rehome abroad and therefore they remain with us as it is also almost impossible to rehome them locally especially if they cannot be ridden 💔
We will keep you updated on his progress. We are currently working through a list of supplements to see if we can find something to help his condition🥲

For now if anyone would like to sponsor Robson while he is with us then send us a message 🥰

Cookie. Cookie… the pony that started Hippotherapy Malta back in 2015. Our first Hippotherapy pony. Gentle, kind, patient. Loved all the children and adults she interacted with.

Fly high dear Cookie ❤️💔

To whom it may concern,



I am an MCAST student currently studying for a BSc in Animal Management and Veterinary Nursing. I am in the process of writing my dissertation, which is about the effectiveness of hippotherapy in alleviating sensory and motor difficulties in people with neurological disorders. The aim of this study is to help in promoting hippotherapy across the Maltese Islands, by portraying easy-to-understand results from the study, which could be used to compare the effectiveness of hippotherapy in alleviating sensory and motor difficulties in people with different neurological disorders.

Why are our feed bills so high? Main reason being that stuff the horses have their heads tucked into 😰 The price of a big hay bale went up from €180 to €220 😔 Malta having no grazing means horses rely solely on the hay we give them for forage. 5 horses eat a large hay bale in 5 days. Unless we manage to get more people sponsoring horses and manage to raise more money we are not going to manage to keep up with these huge increases in prices 💔

A horse really can hear your heartbeat from four feet away.

They hear intention.

They feel your vibe.

They are the tellers of self and the mirror of souls ~
