HorseWorld Discovery
Discovery boosts the confidence, emotional well-being and life-chances of disadvantaged and vulnerable young people and adults through an innovative learning programme that brings them together with gentle rescued horses. This learning programme has seen results when nothing else has worked for the individual or group. Every year Discovery works with over 200 children, young people and adults who are at risk of exclusion or who are experiencing life challenges due to their social, emotional, mental health and learning needs.
Students will come for 6/12 weekly sessions, where they’ll learn basics of horse handling and care, grooming, putting on a saddle and bridle, long-reining and tackling obstacles.
If learning in a group setting isn’t appropriate for a student, they can attend 1-2-1 sessions with a Discovery facilitator.
Each session, whether group or 1-2-1 lasts for around 90 minutes. We can arrange sessions throughout the academic year, and each course can be tailored to meet the needs of the individual or the group.
