๐พ Meet Our Animals at Jacks Place ๐พ
Where Care Meets Companionship
At Jacks Place, our animals are more than just residents โ they are therapists, companions, and trusted friends. Living on our beautiful 16-acre farm in Malvern, our animals play a vital role in creating a therapeutic, joyful, and inclusive environment for everyone who visits.
๐ฟ The Power of Animal Therapy
Spending time with animals has been proven to reduce stress, boost mood, increase physical activity, and enhance communication and social skills. For many of our clients, particularly those with learning disabilities, autism, mental health challenges, or age-related conditions, animal therapy provides a gentle, non-judgmental connection that supports healing and personal growth.

๐ด Horses & Ponies
Our horses and ponies provide gentle, grounding companionship, with clients enjoying grooming, walking, and bonding to boost confidence, coordination, and self-esteem. Willow, our calm and loving therapy pony, offers comfort through cuddles and quiet interaction, while our beautiful racehorses can be watched training on our all-weather gallop. Weโre proud to have both an all-weather sand gallop and a safe, enclosed round pen, allowing year-round exercise, therapeutic walks, and engaging horse-based activities in all seasons.
๐ Goatsย
Full of character and charm, our goats are always ready to make new friends. A firm favourite is Margaret the G.O.A.T, a mischievous but very friendly soul who brings smiles wherever she goes.
๐ Pigsย
Our three large pigs are gentle giants. Their calm, curious nature makes them ideal for quiet, therapeutic interaction. They love human company โ and snacks!
๐ Chickens & Ducks
Feeding, watching, and collecting eggs from our feathered friends encourages responsibility, routine, and gentle sensory engagement. Theyโre full of personality and always happy to say hello.
๐ Sheep
Our peaceful sheep offer a calming presence around the farm. Just being near them โ watching them graze or walking beside them โ helps promote mindfulness and emotional regulation.

๐ฐ Rabbits & Guinea Pigs
Perfect for close, calming contact, our small animals are soft, cuddly, and ideal for those who benefit from quiet, one-on-one connection. A favourite for building trust and emotional expression.
๐ Exciting Plans for the Future!
๐ Coming soon: Weโll be welcoming pygmy goats to the farm โ small, friendly, and full of fun energy!
๐ And weโre also planning to introduce a giant rabbit, ideal for calm cuddles and one-on-one therapeutic time.
