Fred was an excellent assistant at our The HERD Institute® Intro Day today!

I was too immersed to remember to take photos! The participants were very much welcomed by the animals with Fred and Petal adopting people's knees very early on. Fred was showered with the attention he deserves, and was very happy about it!

Although it was windy, we embraced nature and had some excellent learning from the horses and donkeys.

We have another day in February if you're interested in finding out more about and with The HERD Institute.

We have some availability for week day sessions during school time - these are often offered as part of an education package for young people who are struggling in mainstream education.

We offer three main types of sessions:

• Equine Enrichment
• Equine Facilitated Learning
• Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy

These sessions can be accessed in a number of ways, including:

• Private funding
• As alternative provision funded by a school or local authority
• Through EHCP funding, including personal budgets
• As part of an EOTAS (Education Other Than At School) package

Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy (EFP) is a form of therapy that includes horses as part of the process.

You’ll be supported by a trained therapist in a calm, outdoor space, with no pressure to do or say anything before you're ready.

This type of therapy can be helpful if:

• Talking is difficult or feels overwhelming
• You want to understand your feelings and reactions better
• You’re working through tricky relationships or past experiences
• You find nature-based, sensory or hands-on approaches helpful

Horses are sensitive to the world around them. They often respond to changes in how we move, act, or feel, sometimes even before we’ve noticed ourselves.

With support from your therapist, these moments can help you learn more about your thoughts, emotions, and how you relate to others. The aim isn’t to “fix” anything, but to help you feel more connected to yourself, and more in control of what happens next.

You don’t need to have any experience with horses, and there’s no riding involved. You might choose to spend time near the horses, help with care tasks, or simply be outdoors in a peaceful space. All activities are optional, and you’ll be supported to go at your own pace.

• As part of an EOTAS (Education Other Than At School) package

In our Equine Enrichment sessions, you’ll work with horses as part of a team, at your own pace, in a calm and supportive environment.

Spending time with horses can help you see things differently, understand more about how you think and feel, and notice how you connect with others.

This can make it easier to figure out why you do what you do, and help you make choices that feel right for you.

Sessions are shaped around what matters to you. You might take part in horse care, spend time outdoors, or simply be with the animals, whatever feels most helpful.

We do have a flexible scheme of work that can help guide your experience, but there’s no pressure to complete specific activities.

You can also choose to work towards ASDAN Lifeskills Challenges if that’s something you’re interested in. ASDAN Lifeskills Challenges are short, practical tasks that help you build skills for everyday life. You might learn about things like looking after animals, managing emotions, working with others, or being safe outdoors. If you complete a challenge, you’ll get a certificate to show what you’ve achieved. It’s a great way to try something new, grow your confidence, and recognise what you’re good at.
