Each week, we welcome up to 24 school-aged children with a range of needs – including cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, and other complex learning or developmental conditions. Horse riding offers so many benefits: it can help build strength, improve balance and coordination, support mental wellbeing, and encourage communication and listening skills.

But above all, it’s fun. Being outside, meeting the ponies, learning new skills, and making friends – it’s something many of our riders look forward to all week.

Our sessions are designed around each child’s individual ability, with plenty of encouragement, smiles, and game-based activities to keep things engaging. As well as learning to ride, children also get the chance to learn about horse care in a safe and supportive environment.
