Embrace cuddly comfort and calming sensory regulation with the Weighted Sensory Horse (1.8kg)! Designed specifically for individuals who benefit from extra physical weight, this cute and ultra-fluffy horse acts as a comforting, therapeutic lap pad. Standing approximately 34cm tall, it provides targeted deep-pressure touch (DPT) to help settle sensory-seeking behaviors, ease restlessness, and down-regulate an overstimulated nervous system. Whether resting on a lap during schoolwork or snuggled during quiet downtime, this adorable plush pony offers a soothing physical anchor for home, classroom, or therapy environments.
The snuggly texture, friendly animal design, and therapeutic weight allow this plush horse to adapt seamlessly across diverse daily settings:
As a Discreet Classroom & Desk Focus Companion: Resting across a child's lap during desk work, reading sessions, or group instruction provides grounding weight. This proprioceptive input reduces leg wiggling, settles fidgeting, and helps extend attention span during focused learning.
As a Calming & De-Escalation Tool for Quiet Corners: An outstanding addition to calm-down spaces, sensory rooms, or therapy clinics. Squeezing, hugging, or resting under the 1.8kg horse delivers a comforting "hug" effect that helps soothe meltdowns, reduce anxiety, and ease difficult daily transitions.
As a Bedtime & Relaxation Snuggle Companion: Perfect for winding down after a sensory-heavy day. The soft, fluffy outer fabric offers rich tactile comfort, while the weighted core helps ground the body on the couch or in bed before sleep.
✔ Therapeutic Deep Pressure Touch (DPT): Delivers 1.8kg of evenly distributed weight to trigger proprioceptive feedback, promoting a sense of calm and body awareness.
✔ Ideal for Sensory Seekers: Satisfies the urge for heavy work and tactile input, helping users self-soothe and modulate sensory processing needs.
✔ Soft & Fluffy Tactile Experience: Premium plush exterior provides comforting tactile feedback to calm nervous system arousal.
✔ Compact 34cm Huggable Size: Perfectly sized to fit comfortably across a child’s or teen’s lap without slipping or feeling overly bulky.

My therapist introduced me to weighted soft toys; they have the tan collie. My soft black & white collie sheepdog is providing comfort throughout day & night. I so desperately needed this! Ended up writing a song about collie and our real pups. As a 50 yo woman in recovery, really appreciate it. Thank you.
Tulip the weighted cat has given my daughter such joy and comfort. Her cute little face is cheeky in fun times and compassionate in sad times. She has been a great companion to my daughter during a hospital stay.
Hello TS,
How lovely to receive this email from you.
I was also thrilled to realise that you are an Australian company.
My daughter here on our grain property - -whose boys are at boarding school, both with weighted plush toys for comfort while away from home - sent me your details.
I was so happy to find that you had a lamb as I had been looking, but obviously not in the right place! 😊
As unusual as it might sound, this one is for me!! (Age 77) I wanted a reminder each day of how a lamb is cared for by the shepherd, particularly in countries where this is still the case. So thank you for being the “answer” to my personal quest.
Regards, Beth
Perfect for the plushie I made for my friend :)
We bought this to replace our animal happy hopper, which was getting too small. We love that it has handles. Great way to expend energy during TV time!
My daughter loves them and they fit nicely in her bag without it been bulky.
The therapy shop is absolutely awesome they have everything that I need. Quick ordering and fantastic service and communication on delivery. I give them five stars
Awesome just what we wanted, so difficult to find this product. Very happy with purchase and prompt delivery.
They went out of their way called and helped find the correct size. Sent it express post just to be kind. My son is estatic. Thank you
