Equine Assisted Wellbeing Testimonials
“When we started, my son’s anxiety would often make him very scared to the point of shrieking and running whenever he saw a dog or any larger animal. He was very scared of horses. After a few months of attending weekly sessions he has reduced anxiety and built an ability for joint attention. He is also now able to focus more after watching the calm presence of the horses during grooming and other activities, and has learnt to remain calm during daily living task such as cutting his nails. Thank you for your amazing work”

“Equine assisted therapy has had such a positive effect on our daughter who is autistic.
Out of all the supports we have in place this is by far the one as a family we get the most joy from seeing in practice. We see the benefits of our daughters visits and are truly invested in the therapeutic relationship she is forming with the horses, and I have no doubt this will support her as she grows and develops over the years.
The neurodiverse affirming practice creates such a positive experience for our daughter.
Thank you.”

“A wonderful and therapeutic experience meeting the different needs of my whole family: my 11 year old navigating her way at a new school in year 6 and apprehension about starting high school, my elderly mother with Alzheimer’s who struggles to find meaning and opportunities for joy without a working memory, myself struggling to be a carer and finding a way to still care, and my 15 year old just having fun with her friends. Thank you for the opportunity to find parts of ourselves hidden from view.”
