Equine Facilitated Wellness
Referrals for our Equine Facilitated Wellness programme are invited on behalf of children and young people with vulnerabilities, aged between 5 to 18 years of age, who are experiencing personal challenges including low self-esteem or confidence, low resilience, relationship struggles, emotional regulation, experience of trauma or family breakdown, bereavement or trouble with communication.
"Imposing yet gentle, perceptive yet non-judgemental, horses can help troubled teens gain essential insights into their inner demons and innate strengths."
- Hugh C. McBride
Meet Our Horses
Who will you champion at Stable Life? Choose your favourite horse, from Pandora to Seamus, and consider adopting them or donating monthly to help children with vulnerabilities find their strength and confidence through horses.
Book a riding lesson
We offer a variety of horse riding lessons and hacking for all ages and abilities. We have lessons for children from 2 years old and group lessons for all ages - because of the lovely nature of the ponies they are brilliant for learning to ride, so we specialise in beginner riding lessons for all. We are lucky enough to have some incredible countryside around us and offer weekend hacks for adults, children and families.
