Therapeutic Horsemanship Centre
Welcome to Horses4Help
Therapeutic horsemanship is the bringing together of people and horses to benefit the person's mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.
Therapeutic horsemanship benefits a wide range of adults and children including those with behavioural challenges, mental health issues and learning difficulties.
Therapeutic horsemanship is also beneficial for anyone looking to improve confidence and self awareness.
Horses4Help is a Not For Profit Community Interest Company (CIC).
We are based in Wigtown, Nr Newton Stewart, Dumfries & Galloway, Scotland.
Children and Young Adults
We have devised two 8-week courses to help teenagers who are not engaging in classroom learning. These courses will allow curriculum learning in a unique, safe and fulfilling environment.
We can also taylor the above or provide our 2 week courses to suit 16-25yo to help with further education and career choice and opportunities.
Early OnSet Dementia
Unfortunately the number of people diagnosed and living with Early OnSet Dementia is growing. Many people dealing with this may need time out and we can offer therapeutic time with horses to manual activities like tending the allotment or enjoying some fresh air around our nature walk.
"I've watched previously disconnected children meet and overcome challenges, step outside their comfort zone, interact with others and become confident and motivated individuals having spent a short time with the horses - wonderful to watch!".
