ABOUT US
OUR RETIRED SCHOOL HORSES
WHY HORSE CARE FARM
Many children will remember the fun days of Mulcahy's Pony Stables, the summer camps, the birthday parties and learning to ride our beautiful ponies in the natural and peaceful setting of Ballycahane.
These ponies are now enjoying their semi-retirement.
We also know the huge benefits horses can play in the enrichment of our lives, particularly children, so we now offer a range of Equine Assisted Learning programmes and we have BIG DREAMS in connecting with others to experience the magic of horses.
We would love to hear from past pupils of Mulcahy's Pony Stables, please send in photos and stories to horsecarefarmoffice@gmail.com We would love to share them on our website.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

EQUINE ASSISTED LEARNING
What is Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)
Equine Assisted Learning is unique approach to experiential learning, one where you will work with and alongside horses for the purpose of developing core social-emotional competencies and realising both personal & professional development goals. (e.g. leadership and team building). Anyone can benefit from EAL – adults, children & adolescents.
What is Equine Assisted Therapy?
Equine Assisted Therapy is a holistic, experiential and highly specialised form of therapy that involves working in collaboration with a horse, your therapist and an expert horse handler.
We currently do not offer Equine Assisted Therapy.
'LET'S READ WITH ME' PRIMARY NATIONAL SCHOOL PROGRAMME
Children bonding with our ponies can increase their communication skills, confidence and self-esteem. Horses are non-judgemental, they don't criticise and have a calming effect. The literacy levels of children who read with our ponies improves far quicker than reading to their peers.
