What we Teach

We teach, rehearse and repeat 8 key psycho-social skills in an intensive and challenging, but fun, 10 hour programme (usually spread over 4 or 5 days) with feedback in-the-moment from specially trained horses and 1-to-1 facilitator support.
​​
The results tend to be dramatic, with participants shifting to a point where they can then engage with specialist talk-based support or re-engage with mainstream provision.
​
We provide detailed handback to the participant and their referring professional, and discuss follow on support.

The cost to commissioners is £950 per ReStart Course.

We rely on our charitable fundraising when statutory funding is not available.
All our ReStart participants can access unlimited top up sessions as needed (subject to our available funding).

Lighter Touch Options

In addition to the intensive ReStart we offer Lighter Touch equine-assisted options such as:

• Tailored sessions for groups or individuals: to work on a specific skill when a full ReStart is not required.

• Taster Sessions: a short session to establish whether a participant is happy to commit to the 10 hour ReStart program.

• Group Taster: a short, group session, to assess who in the group would benefit from a ReStart course.

• Top Up Sessions: additional support after ReStart, to help participants rebuild skills during a difficult time.

• Family & Foster Family Sessions: Useful after individual family members have completed the ReStart Course.

The cost to commissioners is £95 per hour.

We rely on our charitable fundraising when statutory funding is not available.

Non-Verbal Toolbox Training

A fun, interactive, 2 hour workshop for professionals – and the public – to learn about reading body language and managing difficult emotions & behaviours using non-verbal strategies.

We can provide this workshop in a variety of locations, including:

• Offices
  
• Parks
  
• Community Centres
  
• And More!

Participants find out how to recognise the difference between shutting down and being bored; and understand when aggression is fear-based rather than true dominance. They will gain insights into what to do in each situation.
