Horses

You will be working with horses during your programme. The horses we work with do this for a living and are used to most things. They generally are very quiet and are comfortable with you handling them. Often there is a lot of fear associated with horses, this is a shame because if treated well they are naturally gentle, quiet beings.

The horses are worked with during every programme.

You can learn as much by being a spectator if you feel you are unable to work with the horses.

We do have all sorts of size horses and ponies to suit all needs. One of them only comes up to your knees.

Safety

We advise that you wear suitable clothing with flat, heavy-duty shoes. You can bring approved riding hats or we can provide them for you. You will be asked to sign a disclaimer to state that you are happy to work with the horses. We will provide you with any other equipment that is needed.
