Horses

Therapeutic horsemanship has many benefits, improving mental and physical wellbeing in a number of ways.It can help anyone. We cover a range of activities with the horses. Our aim is for participants to enjoy building a trusting partnership with the horse while learning new skills.

​

Here are some of the ways this is achieved:-

• Learning how to take care of a horse, including grooming, feeding, mucking out and care of their fields

• Finding out how horses communicate, through body language and energy

• Bonding with the horse through grooming and groundwork.

• Different ways of interacting with the horse, including leading, long reining and free interaction

• Learning about horse behaviour by watching the herd in the fields.

 

Giving a practical and relaxed approach, with an emphasis on a trusting partnership between horse and human.
 
Through horse activities, participants will also learn the importance of taking care of the countryside to maintain a sustainable environment for the horses.
