Community Spotlight - `Darcy` and Kristy bringing pony cuddles to those in need...

Kristy from @healing_minds_pet_therapy recently shared a photo with us of Darcy, her therapy pony, hard at work. It caught our attention, and because we always love seeing good news, we wanted to share Kristy`s story with all of you too.

Sharing the passion for horses...
Kristy is a long time horse owner and rider who has utilised the skills from her military and medical background, and first hand experiences to start Healing Minds in 2015. She researched the benefits Animal Assisted Therapy can offer children and adults with almost any disability, mental illness, chronic illness and for those with autism spectrum disorder, Healing Minds started a voluntary provision of services in 2018.

Now offering a guided interaction between patients emergency service personnel or anyone that needs a pony cuddle with her therapy friend, Miniature Pony Darcy Miniature Pony Jacob ( in training)

Why pet therapy?
The purpose of pet therapy is to help someone recover from or cope with a health problem or mental disorder.

Having suffered a life changing injury herself in 2021 after a fall with her horse Rocky while in her capacity as Clerk of the Course at a Trotting event in Kellerberrin, WA, and later diagnosed with PTSD and depression as a result of the injury and its devastating effects on her life, Kristy can relate to those going through similar ordeals and enjoys the sense of purpose and fulfillment that she gains from having such a positive impact on those that meet Darcy at hospitals, aged care facilities and schools around Perth and regional Western Australia.

HOW TO FEED: A kid`s pony
They may be small, but it isn`t always easy to get the diets for our ponies just right, especially when they are looking after precious cargo. Ponies can be prone to weight gain and metabolic conditions, and they need to be cool and calm to help little riders stay safe.

1. Start with fibre and make sure they are getting minimum 1.5-2% of their bodyweight in pasture and/or hay daily. Be careful with pasture if they need a low NSC diet, their grazing may need to be managed and a low sugar and starch hay offered.

2. Opt for cool energy sources and tested hays and feeds that are low in sugar and starch. This can help with keeping them calm, but is also vital for those that might be prone to conditions like laminitis or cushings.

3. Make sure they are getting their daily requirements for protein, vitamins and minerals. Even if they are good doers, pasture and hay alone won`t always provide enough of these nutrients.

4. Avoid over or underfeeding. Even if they need to lose weight, a horse or pony should never have a harshly restricted feed intake. Adjust the energy (calories) in the diet instead to manage weight.

Diet help - for laminitis and weight gain or loss diets for ponies, it is especially important to assess their whole diet (including pasture and hay intake). Please reach out to our nutrition team for assistance.
