What we Offer

TheHorseCourse ReStart

Typically 10 hours of 1:1 work with a facilitator, over 5 consecutive days.

Participants are by referral only, from Schools & PRUs, Social Services, NHS or private Mental Health Services, Family Services and other specialist agencies. We take children from 9yrs old upwards, young people and adults.

Our participants have serious problems such as ADHD, ASD, self harming, bullying, aggression, victims of bullying or abuse, risk taking behaviour, eating disorders, self harm, suicidal ideation, domestic violence, mental health problems, social isolation, not in education, employment or training (NEET or at risk of NEET). They are referred because they are ‘stuck’ or disengaged from talk-based support.

We teach, rehearse and repeat key resilience skills in an intensive and challenging, but fun, 5 day programme with feedback in-the-moment from specially trained horses and
1-to-1 facilitator support.

Lighter Touch Options
