Equine Reflections CIC

Equine Reflections CIC I have over 15 years of experience working with children in a primary school setting. I am also certified in First Aid.

Equine Reflections uses innovative equine assisted learning (EAL) programmes to help children and young people raise self esteem, build confidence, understand emotions and develop positive relationships through activities and interactions with horses. Following my training as a Learning Mentor, I worked extensively with children experiencing Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) challenges. I subsequently qualified as an Equine Facilitated Learning Coach and currently support children with special educational needs through this approach. I hold an up-to-date Enhanced DBS certificate and have completed Advanced Safeguarding Training, which I renew annually. Equine Reflections CIC is a registered Community Interest Company. I comply fully with all licensing requirements set out by North Somerset Council. This includes maintaining current Risk Assessments, Safeguarding Policies, Health and Safety Policies, and detailed procedures for the care and welfare of the horses and ponies involved in our programmes.

Sometimes life is frustrating, but perseverance and critical thinking are life skills!
The spaghetti junction of Shetland fencing is definitely set out to try our patience, but in the words of this young lady, to succeed gives a great feeling of acomplishment!!!
Well done for sticking with it!!!

Nothing better than a good book tucked up in a cosy stable out of the rain. Not sure who enjoyed the story more!!!!

A great week of observation, wondering and discussion as the dynamics of our Shetland herd change with the addition of Marble in the mix!
Observing the behaviours of the ponies as they get to know each other, and establish their positions within the herd, offers a great opportunity to compare and reflect on similarities in our own relationships. Trying to unpick feelings and emotions the ponies may be experiencing, is an opportunity for the children to make parallels for themselves, particularly for children who find peer relationships difficult to navigate.
It becomes much easier to talk about these emotions when relating it to the ponies rather than the focus being on yourself!

3 months on from Marble arriving with us, and not the start we would have wished for him, he finally gets to meet the children.
This little chap is just awesome, as we knew he would be. His connection with the children so very genuine, a gentle soul who already has given so much.
So glad you are with us Marble.

Thank you so much Mandy for this really lovely review. It was so wonderful to welcome Taylor back this week. The ponies were so pleased to see him, it was clear how much they (and me!) have missed him during this time of isolation.

“Reunited and it feels so good”🎶🎵
After two months of our whole team living on a roller coaster, we were so very very pleased to welcome our children back this week.
I don’t need to really say too much, because the connection in this photo clearly shows how much both parties have truly missed each other.

I would like to thank all my friends, clients and followers for the support I have received over the past few weeks, especially now the trolls are trying to ruin my reputation. I know many of you have recognised which posts are from those trolling.
Those who know me will know how conscientious I am and that I always aim to do absolutely everything by the book, putting my horses' and clients' welfare and safety first. I will not let this situation break my spirit, I know how important my work is and my passion for it remains.
