We offer a range of different sessions to cater for individuals and groups.
Individual Therapy Sessions - one participant
Each session is designed with focus on the individual's needs, and keeping their therapeutic, developmental and educational goals in mind. The session may be either focusing on horseback activities or activities around the Care Farm, or it may be a combination of a range of activities, following the needs and interests of the person.
Group Therapy Sessions - up to 3 participants
Again, each session is designed with focus on the individual's needs, and keeping their therapeutic, developmental and educational goals in mind - but in our group sessions, we also promote social interaction, communication skills, confidence and positive interaction. The session may include a range of activities - therapeutic riding, animal care and activities around the farm.
Horse Boy Sessions
These sessions are specifically designed for children, teenagers or adults who would benefit from the 'Horse Boy Method' approach, according to Rupert Isaacson. Please read about this method under 'About our sessions'.
In these sessions, a group of trained coaches supports the participant to engage in activities which aim to promote relaxation, self-regulation and sensory processing skills and prepare the participant for a positive learning experience.

Family Fun Sessions
These sessions are designed to cater for the whole family. They are ideal as a fun family outing, or to introduce a younger or more timid child to our farm prior to individual or group sessions.
We work with the family on activities for these sessions, based on their interests, age of the children and particular requirements. Activities include: meeting all animals on the farm, pony care, therapeutic riding, nature walk, games.
These sessions are also suited for family get togethers, anniversaries and birthdays.

We offer riding instruction from complete beginner level to advanced riders who would like to improve particular aspects of their riding such as jumping skills, dressage, trail riding. We also help with preparation for show, local amateur competitions and BHS/HSI exams.
