Our Mission
 
Personal Ponies, Ltd. (PPL) mission is to simply make magic in children's lives, to bring smiles and joy in the most unusual way.  We believe that the lives of children are immeasurably enriched by having a small equine companion to love and care for -- so this is what we do.
 
Our ponies are uniquely suited in temperament and size to those who we serve.  We provide children with an opportunity to bond and care for a small United Kingdom pony absolutely free.

According to Research...
Horses show sensitivity to non-verbal stimuli, an ability that allows them to read people and reflect on their
emotional state by offering observable and physical feedback.  Including horses as part of the learning experience  is an especially powerful method of involving people in teamwork, problem solving, leadership, communication, relationship building, and self awareness.
