Pilates and Ponies RECAP ☀️🤎🐎

The sun was shining, and we had the most beautiful morning together! ☀️✨

First of all, a HUGE THANK YOU to the team at @darkesforestranch for hosting our very FIRST Pilates and Ponies event! 🤎🐎 We’re already looking forward to getting our next one booked in!

While the mums enjoyed some well-deserved movement, the little ones had a blast playing Tenielle’s animal game (with chocolate as the reward 🍫😆) — definitely a highlight for the kids!

We wrapped up the morning with the most amazing grazing platters, thanks to Kim, our absolute legend! 🧀🍓 The kids, parents and staff were all very excited to dig into those beautiful boards.

And parents… should we add a little trail ride to the next one? 👀🐎😏

Thank you to everyone who came along and made our first Pilates and Ponies morning so special! 🤎✨ by @darkesforestranch
