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.
Meet one of Park Lane Stables’ passionate young equestrians.
Having an easily accessible centre has helped him stay involved after he fell in love with horses, “When I started, I really loved the connection that you can build with a horse.”
He began his equestrian journey just two years ago, but the incredible community at Park Lane Stables already feels like a family.

Meet two inspiring participants from Park Lane Stables RDA who are neurodivergent and thriving!
For those living with autism, the world can sometimes feel isolating, but horses provide a unique connection. They don’t judge or expect, they simply listen and understand.
Through spending time with these gentle animals, Park Lane's young equestrians have grown in confidence, found calm, and learned more about themselves and others around them.
Meet Aisha, the young talent who's forging her way into a career with horses, thanks to the support and encouragement of the team at Summerfield Stables.

There's no looking back for her now and she wants to see everyone giving horses a go!
