Rupert Isaacson, who developed 'The Horse Boy Method', will be joining up with us to give a demonstration on his work THIS SATURDAY 12TH JULY 2014, 11am to 1pm. The demo will take place in an indoor arena at Bantry Horseriding Equestrian Centre, Coomanore South, Mealagh Valley, Bantry, Co. Cork. The event is free, however, donations to Rupert's 'Horse Boy Foundation' are welcome (at the least to cover cost of hired arena etc.).
Rupert will give an introduction to his successful approach in using horses in a therapeutic context with people with autism. His approach is based on using the horse as part of the therapeutic team and he uses principles from Spanish Dressage for backriding (competent rider behind person with special needs in one saddle).
Here are directions to the venue:
DIRECTIONS: (there will be signs ‘Horse Boy Demo’ along the way): Follow N71 north, just before you leave town at the end of Glengarriff road, look out for 'Quick Pick' shop on your right, take right turn at the junction after the shop, follow this road until you get to a fork, take the left, follow this road into the Mealagh valley for about 3 miles, pass 'Bantry Driving Academy' on your left, take next right turn after that, follow this narrow road for a mile, take first left turn, follow this road until you get to Bantry Horse Riding.
