'the prevention or relief of poverty','the advancement of education','the advancement of environmental protection or improvement','the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'
Eat Sleep Ride advances education, health and community development through equine-assisted learning, outdoor education and therapeutic programmes. We work with children and young people whose lives have been shaped by poverty, trauma, isolation, care experience and neurodivergence, and with families and communities across the Scottish Borders, East Lothian and Edinburgh. We do this from Quarry Farm, a 24-acre off-grid farm at Lamberton, built by volunteers on land reclaimed from a former landfill. Young people come for equine-assisted wellbeing sessions, a youth club, holiday camps and day trips, with a hot meal, transport and riding kit provided free so that cost is never a barrier. They work towards Dynamic Youth, Duke of Edinburgh and Saltire Awards, and move on through our employability programme and placements with employers. We rescue and rehabilitate horses, grow food, and give practical help to families in hardship. Volunteers build and support with the site management
