This outdoor program has been found to be motivating and energetic for children who can find it difficult to access usual clinic environments and activities.

We have a range of horses for all ages. From big to miniature we can find a horse for anyone to brush and learn to lead. Partners for the nervous and the brave. Our horses are all trained to be around children and to help them learn horsemanship skills and how to look after animals and socialise with them.

Did you know?

Horses without any horseshoes are considered ‘Barefoot Horses’ and as none of our horses ever wear shoes, these really are the Barefoot Therapists of the farm.
