Welcome !

Hairy Henry is a small Care Farm in West Cork/Ireland - we support children and adults with additional needs. We offer therapeutic riding and therapeutic farming activities to help with emotional, physical, educational, behavioural  and mental health challenges.
What we offer

Our two main activities are:

Therapeutic Riding

Therapeutic Riding is an activity which uses the horse as a partner in the therapeutic process. The focus lies on gaining benefits from the unique neuromuscular stimulation whilst riding and handling the horse, and from building a relationship with the horse as part of the therapeutic team.

Therapeutic Riding promotes strength, balance, good posture, confidence, coordination and flexibility. It offers physical, psychological and educational benefits to children and adults of a wide range of abilities and conditions.

Care Farming

Care farming is the therapeutic use of farming activities. The purpose of care farming is to promote mental and physical health and emotional well-being by giving people the opportunity to spend time with, and work with our farm animals such as sheep, donkeys, pet rabbits, dogs, hens, ducks and geese, and by exploring and experiencing the natural environment on the farm.
