Jacob's Den CIC

Jacob's Den CIC Not-for-profit equine centre Developing, Enriching and Nurturing wellbeing through horses. All enquires: Val Atkin 07505 351617

We work primarily with SEND/SEMH children and young people in an environment where they can feel safe, valued and respected. Jacob's Den is a new not-for-profit organisation that aims to Develop, Enhance and Nurture wellbeing through horses for children, young people and also those with additional needs or mental health challenges in our community. We follow HETI guidelines for the welfare of all

our horses and most of our horses originally came to us from welfare organisations or have been donated to us from homes where they could no longer be cared for. Our Centre is run by Val Atkin and our volunteers. Val has been an SEND and also mainstream teacher for 30 years. Val has owned horses for over 40 years, has trained with the RDA and is a qualified UKCC Pony Club Coach. All our sessions are non-riding and no experience is necessary. We already run HAF activities for SEND children in the school holidays and we can now open our gates to others in our community. We offer bespoke family/group activities from £15 and also a Saturday morning club runs between 10:30 and 1pm every week which is £15.

Many thanks to Ellis from EP Equine Dentistry for her third and final visit to our yard for the routine dental checks. Ellis definitely had a captive audience with some of the children brave enough to put their hands right up inside the horse’s mouths to feel their teeth- even the molars right at the back. Many thanks also to Oliver from Tower Equine Veterinary Surgeons for his help in calming our two dental- phobic ponies. All ponies were really well behaved for both Ellis and for Oliver 🐴🥰🐴

We have tried to make sure the ponies are nice and cool this week with lots of water baths. The hot weather may have meant the ponies exercising less than usual but it didn’t stop some of our regulars arranging their own jumping competitions- amidst the water fights of course 🤣 Sorry for your wet children parents and carers 😬😊🐴. More photos to follow next week- sorry for not publishing our usual amount but watch this space 🙂❤️

❤️❤️❤️Only a few people know that our Romeo has had some really worrying health issues earlier this year which was why he wasn’t in our sessions. However he was leading the boys playtime yesterday and showing us he is now back on form (🤞) and strutting his stuff in the way our little showman does ❤️❤️❤️
