Many young people benefit from opportunities to succeed outside of the classroom.
Through confidence booster activities, outdoor challenges and group experiences, participants are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones and discover what they are capable of.

Potential outcomes may include:
• Increased self-confidence
• Greater willingness to try new things
• Improved self-belief
• Pride in personal achievement

WOW!! What a session these young adventurers had.

They did in fact break our current WildMinds record for distance covered on a morning stroll.

They all done amazing and should be so proud of their achievement. Not only did they conquer this walk they also returned a long lost trolly that they picked up from the beautiful RSPB and decided to take it back to its original destination being ASDA.
Usually they find rubbish or animal bones but this time it was a trolley. 🛒

They made great use of it from carrying their bags to lighten their loads and obviously didn’t used it for carrying themselves at any point 🤪😅👍🏼
Anyways…

I guess there’s only one thing to do when records are set and that’s beat them.
Watch this space. 😬

Wild Minds recognises that every young person learns differently.
Where appropriate, sessions can be adapted to support individual learning needs. These opportunities are introduced naturally within activities, allowing young people to learn without the usual pressures that may be.

By combining adventure, creativity, discussion and practical skills, Wild Minds helps young people develop abilities that will benefit them throughout life.

When getting to know horses we need to know the basics.

Nutrition & Feeding Basics

Horses are trickfeeders designed to eat small amounts continuously throughout the day.

• Prioritize Forage: High-quality hay or pasture grass should make up the majority of your horse’s diet. As a rule of thumb, a horse should eat roughly 1.5% to 2% of its body weight in forage every day.

• Keep Fresh Water Accessible: A horse can drink anywhere from 25 to 50 litres of water a day. Always ensure they have access to clean, non-frozen water, and scrub out water buckets regularly to prevent algae and bacteria growth.

• Make Feed Changes Gradually: If you need to change your horse's grain or introduce them to a lush new pasture, do it over a period of 7 to 14 days. Sudden dietary changes can upset their sensitive digestive systems and cause colic.

Like us humans the diets and nutrients required or preferable will differ from one to the next and can often be determined by things like breed, current health or any other conditions or variables that could affect the diet.

Q: For any horse owners, carers or sharers.

What do your horses get for breakfast and why?

Did you know Sandy was a heavily defended Roman town, and Galley Hill at the RSPB reserve was an ancient Iron Age hillfort? 😮

Did you know also know that Wild Minds experiences aim to contribute towards positive outcomes in several areas of personal development and engagement & that Wild Minds exists to create a space where young people can:

• explore their strengths�• build confidence�• develop life skills�• feel valued and supported

The outdoor environment provides the backdrop but it is the growth, experiences and personal development of each young person that truly define the Wild Minds journey.
