To give people with disabilities the opportunity to learn to ride or drive a horse and benefit from this therapeutic activity and to support this activity by ensuring they can learn in a pleasant, safe and supportive environment. This is achieved by providing riding sessions either in groups or as individuals. We also provide therapy sessions by way of stable management sessions where participants learn to care for the horse and learn about the environment they live in again this can be in group sessions or as individuals. Another form of therapy session is Tea With a Pony where individuals spend time with the horses and ponies and then come together for a time of socialising over a cup of tea/coffee.
