We are HUGELY fortunate to have a very generous donor who is offering us 100% paid therapy riding sponsorships.

However, please note that these sponsorships come with strict conditions, most importantly ability to attend ALL lessons.

We understand that this is more often than not a huge issue, but if the child is not able to attend the weekly sessions, then we cannot offer the best our therapy can offer.

Please DM us for applications and we will respond as quickly as possible.

If anyone can help us, please do! For some reason, Hot1027's submission page keeps rejecting our deeply needed request. It keeps telling us that a "field" is missing. We've emailed them before asking what the problem is, but no reply.
Our builder really did a dirty on us, please help us get the roof repaired?

Good day! We're a specialist stable yard that used horses to help treat mostly children with special needs: Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, learning disorders, trauma recovery and more, as well as adult stroke survivors and Traumatic Brain Injury.
We have three special needs schools that bring a select number of their children through for therapy, as well as a school that looks after abused and abandoned youngsters. We work pretty much 7 days a week and have mostly likely undertaken thousands of hours of therapy since we opened in 2007. If you Google our name, you'll see how highly clients past and present feel about our work with their children. We've been on radio talk shows, and most recently hosted a German student studying Rehabilitative Science who came to study our work.
In 2019, faced by crippling charges by the stable yard we were renting space from, we took out a bank loan, too a deep breath and moved to our forever home, where we built the stable yard on what used to be an old dumping space.
We hired what we thought was a reputable company to build our stables, and while everything looked great at first, after the first year we noticed that the roofing was showing bad signs of rust - which being zinc roofing, it really shouldn't if it's been done properly. Certainly not in such a short space of time!
Regrettably, when we contacted to owner, his response was to send me a copy of the terms, which state that the roofing has no guarantee...and that was the end of his communication.
Over the passing years, we've tried to stem the rust as best possible with anti-rust paint, but financially we couldn't afford to do a proper treatment, so the rust is coming through again.
As you can see from our name, we became an NPO last year, but the application for our Section 18 certificates is taking forever, so we're unable to find anyone willing to help us fix the roof yet. Is there any way you can find us a sponsor? These are by no means HUGE stables – we only have three horses and a toilet, so roughly 7m x 15 m.
