  • An understanding of the physical, mental and emotional needs of the horses.
  • An outdoor, herd-based approach to horse care.
  • Qualified Facilitators who are PVG checked

  • A qualified First Aider

Founder and director, Eileen Mathieson, specialises in working with children and young people, particularly those who have social, emotional, communication or behavioural difficulties. After gaining qualifications in Social Care she went on to train as an Equine Facilitator.
