Equine Assisted Learning is an innovative mental health and education intervention. Through observation and understanding of horse behaviour, our facilitators utilise activities with horses as a tool to help those who are vulnerable and at risk to reflect on their own anxieties and behaviour. This leads to greater resilience, improved social skills and emotional growth. There is no riding involved and the horses are carefully chosen so they are safe to handle and be around.

Horsemanship is a basic skill that every good rider should know, and good horsemanship is an asset to the rider and the horse. It is important that every rider know the basic riding position and have skills in handling their horse. Horsemanship includes skills like the rider’s appearance and position in the saddle and their ability to control their horse.

Horse Husbandry addresses the responsibility and a long-term commitment, in terms of care, hard work and finances in relation to owning a horse. There are a lot of things you need to think about in order to care for your horse properly.
