We offer Equine Therapy which provides an alternative psychotherapeutic experience and treatment for clients who find it difficult to engage with a therapist or professionals around their mental wellbeing in a conventional way, e.g. office based talking therapies.

We also offer alternative education programmes for young people who may be struggling with school attendance, SEMH needs or social isolation.

Young People are encouraged to work with the horses is an unstructured way, usually the horses are loose so they can demonstrate their natural behaviours. Observing the horses and understanding their behaviours, emotions and body language engages the young people in being able to better understand their own emotions and reactions, and how to adapt these for more positive interactions with others.

Inclusive and open to all - no experience around horses is necessary and there is no riding involved.
