Horse Riding

Discover the Joy of Riding!

Did you know that riding can offer incredible therapeutic benefits? The special bond between humans and horses creates a unique opportunity for growth and healing. Through riding, participants can experience improved mobility, strength, and a wonderful sense of achievement.

The gentle warmth and natural three-dimensional movement of a horse help relax and stretch the rider’s body, strengthening core muscles, improving balance, posture, and coordination. For those with congenital disabilities, riding can bring an amazing sense of freedom. And for individuals with progressive conditions, it’s a fantastic way to stay active and retain mobility for longer.

How Much Does It Cost?

We suggest a minimum donation of £15 per session, per person for both riding and carriage driving. If you’re able to contribute more, it’s always greatly appreciated and helps us continue offering these life-changing experiences.

For participants under 25, funding may be available through Activities Unlimited. Families can also apply for a Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Personal Budget to support activities included in an Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP). If you have any questions about funding or personal budgets, feel free to email localoffer@suffolk.gov.uk. Payments through prepaid cards issued by Suffolk County Council are also accepted.
