Wings Equine Educational Program gives young people access to a local riding stables where they follow both an on-site learning and practical program, including grooming, tacking up routine and taking part in riding lessons with qualified instructors.

Horses act as mirrors to a child reflecting their emotions and responding only to authentic, concise and confident action. As prey animals, horses have highly attuned fight/flight responses which encourages young people to control their emotions and behaviours in order to remain ‘in relationship’ at all times with the horse they are working with.  

Whilst young people can only ride the horses at the moment, we hope that we will be able to recommence the full equine program later this year.
