On Saturday 18th October, Outdoor Club participants were joined by a horse named Gizmo who was brought to the farm by charity Strength and Learning Through Horses.

 

Some of the young people were apprehensive about the horse at first but slowly grew more confident, leading the horse and brushing him.

 

One young person, R, 14 said:

He “had never seen a horse in person before” and rated the day “10 out of 10.”

 

We are hoping to hold more equine therapy events in the future, as it was great to see the young people bonding with the horse and supporting each other.
