Not every young person thrives in traditional talking therapy. Equine Assisted Therapy uses hands-on interaction with horses to help young people explore non-verbal communication, emotional regulation, and boundaries in a non-judgmental environment.

  • No prior riding experience needed
  • Immediate behavioural feedback from horses
  • Helps reduce anxiety & low self-esteem
  • Integrates into wider care & education plans
