I was blown away watching my anxious little girl engage with Clips and Louise.
I watched her confidence grow in every session and saw her persevere in situations she previously would have given up in.
Along with coping strategies she took away with her a feeling of self worth.

TESTIMONIALS
BBC on TheHorseCourse
In 2023, BBC South sent Sean Killick to meet two participants of TheHorseCourse at it’s centre in West Sussex. The conversations with the participants and their guardians show the impact it has had on alleviating their anxiety and OCD symptoms.
“Now I can go out and have conversations with people…I can stay calm and neutral, like I do here.” said Jesse, one of the young participants

The whole experience with Louise was amazing and helped me with reading other people’s, and recognising my own body language…I became more confident with speaking to other people.
Young Person
TheHorseCourse ReStart
I couldn’t ask for anyone better than Louise to deliver the ReStart course…She was patient and understanding…This really opened up the lines of communication and allowed my daughter to express herself in a non-judgemental environment. As a parent, I can’t recommend Louise enough!

We are all so thankful for the opportunity to spend time in this beautiful place with your beautiful horses. All of us, especially my daughter, were really excited about such an experience! May God bless you in everything you do.

This was different than anything we had tried before…my daughter was learning without realising, the lack of talking and just doing.

It has shown my daughter, and myself how much she can achieve and given her confidence and skills to take away.
Parent of ReStart Participant
Anxiety, low self confidence
You, Clips and Mel have helped me realise something numerous counsellors and psychologists never could…to be shown how to improve my mental health by action is something I can actually use in situations…I finally feel I can have control.
