02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
At Karele, we offer one-on-one equine-assisted therapy sessions tailored to each participant’s needs. Working closely with a horse and a trained facilitator, individuals develop confidence, emotional wellbeing, and essential horsemanship skills. From grooming and handling to guided riding and countryside walks, every session provides a safe, supportive space for learning, reflection, and personal growth. We take take our participants back to essential horsemanship-?skills where they begin by learning about basic grooming and ?equipment. Participants are then encouraged to walk in ?partnership with their horse in beautiful, relaxing countryside. ?All with the support and guidance of a Karele Facilitator. ? Grooming and tacking up their horse is the next exciting ?step in their learning journey.
