What the charity does
We offer high impact horse-powered interventions for hard to reach participants. Participants typically have multiple problems and live in difficult situations. The method used is a revolutionary approach to mental health/self-regulation with excellent evidence of positive outcomes. Participants are coached to become calm and focused by learning to communicate with specially trained horses.
