TWP gives fulfilling and enriching experiences with horses to people living with dementia or other similar conditions. Participants can enjoy a slice of cake and cup of tea, and then have the opportunity to have a sensory experience with a pony.
Tea with a pony is an RDA activity focusing on sensory experiences with RDA horses and ponies. It was launched as part of RDA’s nationwide dementia project in response to the growing number of people living with dementia and similar conditions.

It may well be that we need to tailor each session to suit the needs of particular participants. We have carried out a full risk assessment and this is available if required.
There will be charge of £5.00 per participant attending and an application will have to be completed for each participant, and this can be downloaded here twp-rda-participant-application-form-2023
