Think Like a Pony

We are a leading organisation in the field of equine therapy, pony training and children's natural horsemanship.

Through educating young people in how to communicate with a pony and ride in balance we empower them to develop confidence, resilience and powerful communication skills.

Our approach is inclusive of all children but is proven to be life-changing for vulnerable children referred through social services, schools and the NHS's mental health services. 

Reaching up to 160 children each week with over 80 children on our waiting list, we have now far exceeded our current base and are fundraising to build a purpose-built flagship centre.

We are supported and endorsed by the Big Lottery Fund, Comic Relief, John Lewis, EY Foundation and The Rotary Club. We have received awards from Child Friendly Leeds and have been recognised as the best riding school in the region through Corporate LiveWire's Prestige Awards.

A Life-Changing Approach

"We are more similar to the horse than you might imagine. By learning how horses communicate and form relationships, children improve on their own communication and relationship skills."
