Cozy Connections: Winter Learning That Warms the Heart
This winter marks a big step for us — it’s the first time we’re staying on site to run our programs through the colder months. In the past, we’d head into the community centre when the paddocks turned to mush and the wind cut through. But now, with our newly developed indoor–outdoor spaces, we’re ready to embrace the season and keep our sessions going, rain or shine.
It’s also the first full winter that WildQuest Education and Occupational Therapy supports will be delivered entirely on-site. That means no packing up, no travelling between venues — just learning, connection, and consistency for our families.

Here’s how we’re making winter work:
Being a small business means always adapting. Our new spaces have been designed with winter in mind — warm, weather-protected, and still connected to our horses and the natural world.
🐴 The Brumby Base
This is our cosy learning and therapy space, tucked close to the horse yards. Horses can come right up to the verandah, so participants can stay inside and still interact with their learning buddy. Inside, there are tables, cushions, rugs, and plenty of sensory and educational tools. We even have hot chocolate or warm Milo on offer — perfect for a mid-session break.
🌿 The Meadow Room
This space allows for horse, participant, and educator or therapist to work together in a sheltered environment, surrounded by fresh air but protected from the cold. It’s straw-lined for comfort and groundedness, and there's a heater just outside the stable door to take the edge off those crisp mornings.
We’ve also made sure we’re ready for those extra-cold days:
-
Portable heaters near each working area
-
Warm drinks to help regulate body temperature and comfort
-
Soft furnishings for children who need extra sensory support
-
Flexibility to work indoors or out depending on the needs of the child
-
Horse riding lessons will continue throughout winter as weather and daylight allow. WildQuest Education and Occupational Therapy sessions continue rain or shine — and we ask that participants bring waterproof jackets and gumboots on wet days (and even days after rain), to keep toes toasty and dry.
While we haven’t worked from these new spaces through a full winter yet, we’re really looking forward to sipping warm drinks, working with our horses, and helping children thrive — even on cold, wet days.
