The Project will provide an outdoor space that allows the individuals to socialise with like minded individuals, work as a team, explore their feelings, emotions and concerns free of any judgement and criticism.

WHAT DO THESE SESSIONS CONSIST IN:
During these sessions you will be working with a Mental Health professional and Equine Specialist utilising the horses as a means of discovery and exploration.
 
Horses will be used as a means of building confidence, gaining insight into their own behaviours and emotions, learning new skills and working together.

Using horses (on the ground, not ridden) allows the participants to do activities out with their normal roles, gain a sense of wellbeing through organised tasks, being around large animals and nature provides a more present and mindful environment.

The environment will be free from judgement, open and conducive to learning in a therapeutic manner.
