Alternative Provision and Well-being
As an established riding school which prioritises the welfare of its ponies and students, we find that we attract children and young adults with anxiety, ASD, ADHD, PDA, and other SEN. The way we teach has proven extremely beneficial to their confidence and communication skills and we now offer alternative provision and well-being sessions to schools, home educators, charities, and private individuals.
We can provide individuals or small groups with child centred, activity led education, using horses and the countryside to develop confidence, focus, communication skills, self-esteem, motivation, assertiveness, empathy, and to improve mental well-being and physical fitness. Each session is tailored to the individual clients’ needs and required learning outcomes.
We have our own Ethical Horsemanship Curriculum in place to cover stable management, groundwork, and riding, and can also include the following as required:
-
Trick training and Liberty sessions with the horses
-
NLP sessions
-
Mindfulness classes
-
ASDAN short course in animal care
-
Level 1 Work-based Horse Care (in conjunction with Haddon training)
Pricing:
Individual £55 per hour.
Groups £55 each for the first hour, then groups of two, £45 each per hour, groups of three, £30 each per hour, groups of four, £22.50 each per hour, up to a maximum of five hours, between 10am and 3pm Wednesdays-Fridays.
ASDAN courses and Level 1 Horse-care - please enquire for pricing.
Some pupils may need a member of staff to attend with them, and this would be discussed with the referring organisation as part of the initial risk assessment.
We have three fully trained safeguarding officers and all of our staff are DBS enhanced checked, first aid and fire safety trained.
