Grounded Growth Through Horses

Structured equine wellbeing programmes, funded riding access and therapeutic support for children, young people and adults.

Who We are?

Reins & Roots CIC is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company committed to improving emotional wellbeing, confidence and access to horses.

We raise funds to provide free and subsidised equine-based experiences for individuals and families who may otherwise be unable to access them.

All surplus is reinvested into community provision in line with our asset lock..

What We Do

Funded Riding Access

We provide free and subsidised riding sessions on selected days each month.

These sessions are:

  • Structured and supervised

  • Confidence-building

  • Inclusive

  • Application-based

Priority is given to families experiencing financial hardship or social barriers to participation.

Equine Therapy

Delivered in partnership with a licensed therapist, our equine-based therapy sessions support:

  • Emotional regulation

  • Anxiety management

  • Confidence development

  • Personal growth

Sessions take place in a calm, structured equine environment and are safeguarding-led.

Structured Wellbeing Programmes

We deliver equine-based wellbeing programmes for:

  • Girls (11–16)

  • Boys (11–16)

  • Women

  • Men

These programmes combine guided equine interaction with structured reflection and facilitated discussion.

They are non-clinical, supportive and professionally delivered.

OUR APPROACH

We are:

  • Not for profit

  • Safeguarding led

  • Welfare-focused for both horses and people

  • Structured, not drop in

  • Community-funded

We believe horses create space for growth through calm leadership, boundaries and connection.

Transparency and accountability are central to our work.
