Equine Therapy

Learning & Growing — Through Horses

Equine sessions that build confidence, coordination and calm for our SEN learners.

Why Horses?

Horses mirror our emotions, respond to clear body language and reward gentle communication. For students with additional needs, that makes every session a chance to practise focus, self-regulation and teamwork—all in an outdoor, sensory-rich environment.
