Meet the pint-sized ponies visiting hospitals, schools and care homes - providing therapeutic cuddles for those in need.

Owner Sarah Woodland, 42, was gifted two mini Shetland ponies in the summer of 2022 by a friend.

Poppy, 16, and Tinks, 17, stand at just 30 inches tall and love being stroked and fussed over.

Sarah started doing private one-to-one enrichment sessions with the pair before deciding to visit a local care home with them to encourage residents connect with the animals.
