Testimonials

“Thank you so much for welcoming R, making him feel included, and taking your time with him. As expected, it took R a little longer than the rest of the group to feel comfortable and safe, and finally, he joined the group without me (or a family member), which was a beautiful feeling for us all. I cannot thank you all enough for helping R get to this point, he has left saying he felt included, safe and excited, which is more than I could have wished for”

Parent of a participant

“Horses for Wellbeing has really helped with my daughter’s confidence and her mental wellbeing. She has gone from shutting herself away in her room not wanting to talk or interact with anyone, to cooking herself food, tidying up, and generally a lot happier. She always comes out of her sessions happy and talking about the horses on the journey home where on the way she hardly says a word. I would highly recommend the sessions”

Every child deserves confidence, connection, and hope

“Horses for Wellbeing made me feel more confident and happy. I really enjoyed working with the horses, especially Archie. It has helped me come out of my shell”

15-year old participant

“They’ve helped me through the roughest time of my life. I feel as if people should confide in animals a lot more. They have such a better understanding and understand you better than yourself. The team at Horses for Wellbeing is incredible and would 10/10 recommend to send your kids or even yourself if they/you are struggling with something significant in your life”

13-year old participant

“Just wanted to email you to say how much O is enjoying her sessions with Horses for Wellbeing. O returns home calm and regulated and in a total dream about the time she has at her session”

Parent of a participant

“I know that with certain students this has been a life-saving experience and whilst the student is unable to participate at the moment, I know when time is possible they will be there again in a heartbeat. She would love the chance to spend the day and more time with you guys and the same goes for another two of the students who have had great pleasure from coming”

Secondary school teacher

“I found everyone welcoming and friendly and informative and kept up to date with feedback. The students always enjoyed their sessions, their only regret was they wanted to do more of it and for longer, I will definitely be taking more students”

Secondary school teacher

“One student in particular has struggled with confidence and social interaction. Following her engagement in the programme she has applied to join the riding for disabled program as a volunteer”
