We often work with young people who find school attendance

We offer options to support with diagnosis by providing supporting reports.

Whilst spending time with our horses we practice techniques to help young people manage overwhelming situations.

We support parents on the the emotional road as their child suffer.

We can support with reintegration back to school into a new school setting. If that’s the end goal for some.

During term times we offer a group on a Wednesday morning for young people aged 12-16. This group is subsidised for young people that have no provision. This term we start on the 17 of September from 9.15 / 9.30 till 11.00

We Also offer 1-1 services that many institutions pay for. These can be with a counsellor working alongside an equine learning facilitator (s)
Especially where trauma is associated to behaviour.

Many young people are funded by

Schools
Doctors surgeries
Social workers

Yet we will also fund too..

If there is no PIP no diagnosis no other help

So please do get in touch if you are unsure

“But Isn’t That Just Doing Nothing?”

One misconception about Autonomous Horsemanship is that it means doing nothing with horses. That we just let them sit in fields, untouched and ignored.

But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Autonomy doesn’t mean absence. It means presence without pressure.

It means showing up without needing to shape, teach, or mold.
It means connecting through mutual curiosity, not control.
It means valuing who the horse already is, not just what they can do.

True presence is far from passive—it’s one of the most powerful gifts we can offer.

✨ Autonomous Horsemanship is not the end of relationship—it’s the beginning of one not built on training, but on trust.

Work experience

My son R recently did a few days work experience at the yard. It was a great supportive environment and he thoroughly enjoyed it. Doing something new where expectations are uncertain is difficult for him but everything was explained really clearly which enabled him to interact and work to the best of his ability. Being around the horses and working outside was ideal. Thank you Michelle and the team for making this possible.

Did you know we often have events on the yard where you can spend time with the herd?

The next is coming up on Sunday 7th September 2pm-4pm

Step into a peaceful countryside setting and immerse yourself in the gentle presence of horses and alpacas while receiving powerful group Angelic Reiki.

This special 2-hour event blends healing, guidance, and nature — with half of every ticket going directly to support the care and community work of Kent Equine Facilitated Learning.

💫 What You’ll Experience:
• A rare opportunity to experience Angelic Reiki in a countryside setting infused with the energy of the horses and alpacas.
• Time to deeply relax and let stress melt away in a safe, supportive space.
• A personal message from the angels to guide you forward.
• The uplifting feeling of contributing to the wellbeing of rescue and therapy animals.
• Connection with like-minded souls in a warm, heart-centred community.

Event Flow:
You’ll be welcomed into a safe, supportive space where we’ll begin with a group Angelic Reiki session — inviting the Angels to bring healing, balance, and renewal to mind, body, and soul.

Afterwards, each guest will be invited to pull an angel card and receive a personal interpretation to guide your path forward. We’ll then share light refreshments together while enjoying the tranquil views of the yard and its beautiful residents.

To be the person your horse is willing to trust and follow anywhere — that is the greatest gift a human can receive. 🐎✨

It’s not about strength or force. It’s about trust, built on love, patience, and sincerity. A horse feels our heart, our emotions, and our intentions. And if they choose to follow you, it means you’ve become their friend, their support, and their safe place. 💛

Because the true bond with a horse is when two souls walk side by side, needing no words. 🌿
