Clwyd Special Riding Centre situated at Llanfynydd near Wrexham in North Wales is a registered charity run by a group of volunteers. Every week it welcomes over 200 people of all ages with special needs who benefit from the pleasure and stimulation of riding, carriage-driving and equestrian vaulting.
As anyone who has enjoyed the opportunity will know, learning to ride, drive a carriage, or participate in vaulting offers an inspiration and challenge that is quite unforgettable - for people with disabilities, the experience is all the more special.
This unique Centre also provides residential riding holidays for groups of people with special needs from all over the UK and abroad. The Centre is also available during the winter months for non-riding holidays for people with special needs.

Ebony Horse Club is a charity that helps to improve the life skills, education and aspirations of some of the most disadvantaged children and young people growing up in Brixton, South London, by providing access to horse riding, outdoor activities and mentoring. Ebony uses access to horses and riding to teach five key social skills: punctuality, regular attendance, commitment to improvement, team work and exam preparation.
Ros intended Ebony to be for children who were experiencing significant difficulties and challenges. We continue to offer mentoring to children who are at threat of exclusion, in care, coping with bereavement, have learning difficulties and lifelong development disabilities such as ADHD, autism and Aspergers Syndrome. Many of our children are confronting multiple problems frequently leading to an inability to cope which can lead to exclusion.

The Charity was founded in 1994 with the express purpose of helping young diabetics come to terms with their condition. The concept was to relate the lifestyle of a horse to that of a diabetic given that there are many similarities . Simply put, the child learns to care for the horse and learns to care for himself at the same time. Obviously that is not the total of all that is achieved, riding itself has been considered a therapeutic activity in its own right for some time and communication is an essential activity when riding or just being in a yard.
If you would like to know more about the Centre based at Morelands Copse farm in Eastleigh Hampshire then please contact Kerie Coutts.

Heartshore also offers therapeutic services for horses and people. We work with children with autism (and their families) as well as children with learning or behavioural difficulties. In addition to this we will visit you and offer consultations, treatment, and advice for a wide range of problems you may experience with your horse.

We have several permanent sites in the UK and USA, each of which offer slightly differing experiences. From a stately home in Argyll, Scotland to the woods and fields of central England, to the green hills of Wales, to the rocks and water of the Texas Hill Country, there are a variety of environment and horse experiences on offer. Camps usually run for 3 – 4 days and are for the whole family. They do not offer respite – you cook for yourself and are responsible for your child at all times – but the experience can be joyful.
We use specific techniques (see the Horse Boy Method page) which Rupert Isaacson, the founder of ‘The Horse Boy Foundation’ and the inspiration behind the camps, found worked with his Son, Rowan.
We also include activities and riding for the non-Autistic siblings of the families that come.

Hippotherapy (from Greek hippos = horse) is a specialist physiotherapy intervention that makes use of the movement impulses of a walking horse to correct and improve movement in the person on horseback.
Research has shown that hippotherapy is particularly beneficial for people of all ages with movement disorders, such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, acquired brain injury, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and spina bifida. The fact that we provide a hippotherapy service to people with movement disorders of all ages, as well as our specific set-up makes Horse Power for Ability unique in the UK.
