We thought it was time to reintroduce ourselves and share what we’re all about 🐎 🍂 🌲

We’re Maverick Therapies, an outdoor-based and horse-assisted occupational therapy service based in mid Cornwall. We support children, young people, and adults through a neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed approach.

This is Liv, our founder and director. A qualified occupational therapist, Liv combined her professional experience with her lifelong connection to nature and horses to create a service that works differently, outside of traditional clinical settings.

If you want to find out how we can support you or someone you care about, please get in touch!

What can grooming a horse offer beyond care? 🐎🍃

Horse based activities such as grooming can offer:

1️⃣ Improved fine motor control – through grasping brushes and managing grooming tools.

2️⃣ Enhanced bilateral coordination – by using both hands together in a coordinated way.

3️⃣Support for self-regulation – the rhythmic, tactile input has a calming effect on the nervous system.

These skills are essential for performing activities of daily living such as dressing and personal care tasks
