Groundwork focuses on building trust, communication, gross motor and social skills through non-riding activities with horses. Participants learn to work alongside their horse, leading and caring for them while developing their own sense of calm, self-assurance, and respect. Groundwork is a wonderful option for individuals who may not be able to ride or who benefit from one-on-one interactions with a horse.
Benefits: Improved communication, stronger social skills, and greater emotional connection.
Who It’s For: Participants of all ages who may not be able to ride but still want to experience the joy and benefits of working with horses.
Exercise and active recreational riding activities in a challenging, fun, and supportive environment.
Regular riding improves core strength, balance and coordination and our welcoming groups help boost well-being and happiness.
All the benefits of riding for anyone unable to ride a horse or who want to extend their skills.
Led by accredited coaches using specialized vehicles and adapted harnesses.
This involves activities carried out on the ground, interacting with the horse, horse care, handling and groundwork and also motor skills and cognitive exercises some of which are similar to our Therapeutic Riding Programme.
All riders, at all levels of ability, are encouraged to participate in different events. Volunteers and coaches celebrate riders’ progress, share techniques, and enjoy a rich community experience.
