In planning the activities for this year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings. This year was different to other years as we were limited in the activities we were able to provide due to lockdowns and restrictions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Where possible we continued to provide therapeutic horsemanship activities, equine facilitated alternative education programmes and online activities to disabled and disadvantaged participants.
**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the** We continued to support participants through creating online activities **public benefit in relation to** which people could access from home via our website and through social **these objects (include within** media. These activities enabled our participants to continue to engage in **this section the statutory** educational opportunities and encouraged continued interaction with the **declaration that trustees have** outside world during periods of lockdown or self-isolation. **had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity** When we were able to operate activities in person, we provided therapeutic **Commission on public** horsemanship activities, including individual sessions which benefited **benefit)** vulnerable people who had previously had to stay indoors for the majority of the time during lockdowns, which offered another element to our therapeutic work. We provided funded sessions and low cost equine facilitated learning sessions for local disabled and disadvantaged children and young people where possible to increase confidence, reduce anxiety focusing on social-emotional benefits.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
This year was different to other years as we were limited in the activities we were able to provide due to lockdowns and restrictions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Our focus this year included sustainability of our activities during lockdowns. We created interactive online educational horsemanship activities which anyone could access and participate in from home. We provided live learning sessions through social media and offered our participants the opportunity to continue to see and interact with our team and animals from home.
Where we were able to open we adapted activities to operate in the safest way possible and continued to provide funded individual and socially distanced small group equine facilitated learning opportunities in an outdoor environment. Our team adapted to the challenges of working during the pandemic, and selflessly continued to care for the animals and offer therapeutic and learning activities for participants.
We were able to secure funding to improve our outdoor facilities, so when we were able to re-open we could continue to provide therapeutic horsemanship activities with a focus on operating more safely in an outdoor environment.
