Trigger is a calm, steady horse with a great balance of bravery and sensitivity. On loan to us from a local family, he has settled beautifully into life at Stable Futures and has quickly become a firm favourite with staff and learners.

Friendly and affectionate, Trigger enjoys spending time with the herd and will happily stand being fussed and scratched. He brings a reassuring presence to those around him, while his playful personality still shines through.

And his mane really is something special, definitely the envy of the yard.

Georgia arrived at Stable Futures as a short-term foster placement, but it did not take long for her to become a much-loved part of the herd. She settled in so well with both the horses and our team that we knew she was here to stay.

We are still getting to know each other, but Georgia is already showing strong potential as a future therapy horse. With her calm presence and gentle nature, we are confident she will support young people to build confidence and connection.

We are very pleased to have Georgia as part of Stable Futures.

Tina Turner – yes our very own diva – is a sassy Dartmoor Hill pony bursting with personality. A real character, Tina makes her presence known and is never shy about expressing her likes and dislikes.

Despite her bold streak, Tina is a joy to work with on the ground. She has a wonderful way of helping children feel seen, valued and cared for, offering gentle connection with a spark of fun.

Always one of the first to step up for activities, Tina throws herself into everything with enthusiasm and heart. Whether it is a quiet session or something more lively, Tina is ready to shine, and she does every time.

Major is a gentle giant with a big heart. With his strong physical presence, he may appear bold and confident, but beneath it all, he is a sensitive horse who thrives on connection and understanding.

He loves being around people and would happily follow you all day if he could. Because of his size and sensitivity, Major is especially effective at helping young people learn about boundaries, communication and mutual respect.

Major often reminds us that being strong does not mean being tough, and that real connection comes from trust rather than control.

Marley is strong-willed yet deeply sensitive, and he commands respect from both his herd and the people around him. With a bold personality and a kind nature, Marley is especially good at helping learners build trust, in themselves and in others.

He is a firm favourite at Stable Futures and supports learners at every stage. Whether someone is just beginning their journey or growing in confidence, Marley has a way of adapting and connecting. As a result, he is often in high demand, and he does not seem to mind being a busy boy.

We are very grateful to Marley for the many lessons he continues to share.

Boo came to Stable Futures after a very traumatic start to life. When she arrived, she was in poor physical and emotional condition, but with time, care and patience, she has slowly rebuilt her trust in people and found a safe home.

Boo has a calm, grounded presence and is especially well-suited to support learners who need space to be still, reflect and process. She forms gentle connections and offers quiet companionship, helping young people feel safe and supported.
​
A steady, caring teacher, Boo has already supported many learners on their personal journeys, and we know she will continue to have a lasting impact.

Pickle came to Stable Futures through sad circumstances, but her story has taken a positive turn. Now surrounded by a caring herd of mares and a team that adores her, Pickle is thriving in her peaceful new life.

She’s a deeply sensitive soul who forms strong emotional bonds with both animals and humans. As she begins her journey as a therapy horse, Pickle is showing a natural ability to connect with those who need her most.

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of her healing journey.

Dylan is our little pocket rocket, full of energy, charm, and heart! Though small in size, he plays a big role at Stable Futures, especially when it comes to supporting our younger or more nervous learners.

On the lead rein, Dylan is steady and reliable, helping children feel safe and build confidence around horses. But with our more experienced young people, he’s more than happy to step things up a gear, showing off his playful and responsive side.

He absolutely loves attention, cuddles, and making new friends, and he’s made plenty of human ones already! Dylan’s gentle size and warm personality make him the perfect partner for those just beginning their journey with horses.

Elvis is a gentle soul who has come a long way on his journey with us. When he first arrived, he did not trust people, but thanks to his kind and sensitive nature, we were able to build his confidence gradually and form a strong bond.

Elvis was gifted to Stable Futures by local individuals who were concerned about his welfare. He has since found his place within our programme and now works closely with some of our more experienced young people, helping them learn the value of patience, calmness and quiet resilience.

Elvis reminds us that healing takes time, and that trust, once earned, can open the door to meaningful growth for both horse and human.

Tufty is full of character and charm, and he loves being the centre of attention. Having previously lived with a family and a young child, he is well used to human company and brings a playful energy to the herd.

He enjoys playing with his pony friends and soaking up fuss and affection from everyone around him. While Tufty is still settling into his role at Stable Futures, he has already made a big impression, especially with our older young people, who really enjoy working with him.

Tufty’s journey is just beginning, and we are excited to see how he continues to grow and shine.

Billy is a handsome Welsh pony with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He came into our care after being found abandoned in a local field, but he has since become a much-loved part of the Stable Futures family.

As the self-declared boss of the herd, Billy takes his role seriously, keeping everyone in line while still finding time to kick up his heels and chase his friends around the field. He brings plenty of energy and character to the yard.

While he is often ridden by staff, Billy is a firm favourite with the young people here. His cheeky charm, steady nature and playful spirit make him a joy to work with during sessions.

Billy reminds us that no matter where your story begins, there is always a chance for a new, happier chapter.

Zeb is a truly special pony with a gentle, intuitive nature. While he is not ridden, Zeb plays a vital role in our work with young people through free schooling and join-up sessions. These are powerful ways to build trust, respect and mutual awareness.

Zeb encourages learners to stay present in the moment, connecting through body language, calm energy and clear communication. These non-ridden sessions can be deeply impactful and give young people the chance to experience connection without words.

Quiet, steady and highly attuned to those around him, Zeb offers something unique. He helps young people meet themselves and others with honesty, confidence and presence.
