Discover the Power of Horses for All
Horses have an incredible ability to inspire, empower, and bring people together. Across the country, equestrian centres are dedicated to making horses accessible to everyone, offering opportunities to build confidence, develop social skills, pursue a career, or simply experience the joy of being with horses.
These centres are vital spaces that show how equestrianism can be inclusive, welcoming, and transformative for everyone.
