Equate is a unique voluntary organisation set up by like-minded parents and families offering those with Additional Learning Needs the opportunity to work with and care for horses, in a safe and stimulating environment. Equate is not a riding school but rather a fun, rural space where individuals can build relationships with the horses and the environment; engaging in meaningful work and developin
g positive, transferable life skills. Equate is an inclusive and welcoming project and as such activities can be tailored around an individual's needs and enjoyments. Our yard is an autism friendly environment. The varied collection of activities offered includes: yard duties, animal husbandry, horse interaction sessions, horse walks, horse agility and ground skills. The benefits of working alongside horses are varied and widely recognised around the world. The relationships built through Equate are geared towards increasing general wellbeing, improving self-confidence and communication skills. Equate encourages positive behaviour and inspires a sense of independence.
