What we Offer
Reins & Roots CIC delivers structured equine-based experiences designed to improve confidence, emotional wellbeing and access to horses.
We raise funds to provide free and subsidised places, ensuring that financial circumstances do not prevent participation.
All sessions take place in a safe, safeguarding-led and welfare-focused equine environment.
Equine Assisted Therapy
In partnership with a licensed therapist, we offer structured equine-based therapeutic sessions.
These sessions may support:
• Emotional regulation
• Anxiety management
• Confidence building
• Personal development
Therapy sessions are delivered in a calm, professional setting and follow a structured therapeutic approach.
Equine therapy sessions are separate from standard riding lessons.

We provide free and subsidised riding sessions on selected days each month.
These sessions are designed for children and families who may otherwise be unable to access horses due to financial hardship or social barriers.
Sessions include:

• Confidence-building activities
• Basic horse care education
• A calm and supportive environment
Places are allocated through an application process to ensure fair access to community-funded provision.
