Equestrian therapy

We have successfully worked with The Horse Course for the last 7 years.

The Horse Course participants can have serious challenges in their lives -they are referred because they are ‘stuck’ or disengaged from talk-based support. The horse course teaches, rehearse and repeat key resilience and relationship skills in an intensive and challenging, but fun, programme with feedback in-the-moment from specially trained horses and 1-to-1 facilitator support.

The proven outcomes are that students

  • Are less anxious (with a 33% average improvement)
  • Have reduced problem behaviours
  • Improved attendance/engagement at school, training or work
  • Improved relationships with peers, families and professionals
  • Increased self belief and hope
