Therapeutic riding is a wellbeing intervention for adults and children, delivered by therapeutic riding instructors, that can be useful to support mental health and personal growth. Our programme focuses on developing emotional regulation, confidence, self-awareness, motivation and improving overall wellbeing through the joy of learning alongside horses.  ​

​

Our programme is transitioning to positive reinforcement and reward-based under the guidance of experts in the field. This means that our riders are taught to implement food rewards for the horses, moving towards more ethical relationships where the horses have choice and autonomy in their work.

​

Not all sessions involve riding, and early work in particular may involve becoming being psychologically "ready to ride". This can  include spending some sessions working from the ground in order to feel settled and ready to build a relationship with the horse before mounting.

​

We are not a riding school, and attending sessions with us means you are willing to explore a new perspective and try new ways of being with horses. Sessions rarely involve cantering or jumping, and often focus on slowing down, connecting, and building healthy relationships between client, instructor, and horse.
