Meet Hannah the Horse!

Quick Q&A with Hannah the Horse
Who are you?
I’m Hannah, a horse who loves to move and explore!

Where’s your home?
I live along the Trans Pennine Trail, but you might spot me in meadows, woodlands, or even by the riverside.

What do you look like?
I have a shiny brown coat, a flowing mane, and strong legs for running and jumping. My big friendly eyes are always looking for the next adventure!

What do you eat?
I love munching on grass, hay, and crunchy apples. Sometimes I get a special treat—carrots!

What’s interesting about horses?
Horses are super speedy and can run for miles. We’re also great at working together in a team and love making new friends.

Try it on the TPT (or your local park)
1) Gallop and Go!
Pretend you’re a horse – can you gallop, trot, and jump over logs or puddles on your walk? Try making up a fun obstacle course with friends.

2) Trail Treasure Hunt
Look for things that horses might like: a patch of soft grass, a shady tree, or a sparkling stream. How many can you find?

3) Healthy Snack Picnic
Pack a picnic with apples, carrots, and other healthy snacks. Enjoy them outdoors, just like Hannah the Horse!

4) Map Your Adventure
Draw a map of your walk or cycle ride. Mark where you saw something interesting – maybe a butterfly, a bridge, or a big tree.

5) Kindness Challenge
Help a friend, pick up litter, or share a smile with someone on the trail. Being kind makes every adventure better!

6) Horsey Moves Game
Make up a game with your family: who can trot, gallop, or jump the best? Try copying how horses move and see who’s the silliest!
