“Our son barely spoke to anyone outside our home. After a few months with Majella, he started chatting to other children at the farm and even his teachers noticed the difference. I wish we'd found this years ago.”
“She used to come home from school completely wound up and nothing would settle her. Now after her weekly session, she's like a different child. Even on her worst school days, she leaves the farm in great form.”
"My son had severe anxiety and wouldn't engage with adults at all. Five years on with Majella and the horses, and he's a completely different child. He has a real bond with Socks and it's helped him trust people again."
"If your child is struggling and you don't know what to try next, just go for it. The fresh air, the horses, the way Majella works with them. It's everything they need and nothing like a clinic or a waiting room."

"My son has autism and sensory difficulties. He'd scream and get very distressed in most settings. With Majella, he's calm. No meltdowns, no screaming. He stays settled for the rest of the day after a session."

“My daughter doesn't have any major behavioural issues, she just needed a bit of confidence. Being around the horses with Majella has brought her out of her shell. She loves being outdoors and her attention span has improved so much.”
"He preferred being on his own and couldn't cope around other children. Now he'll actually tell someone if something is bothering him instead of shutting down. He's a lot calmer and far less anxious."
"Majella is so patient and caring. She creates this safe space where my daughter just relaxes. She went from being tense and overwhelmed to happy and confident. She lights up every time we pull into the farm."

“We tried so many different therapies and nothing seemed to click. Within weeks of starting with Majella, we could see real changes. He's calmer, more confident, and actually wants to go back every week.”

No. Most children who come here have never been near a horse before. We start from the beginning and I guide them through everything.
That's completely normal. We go at their pace. Some children spend their first session just watching from the fence, and that's fine. There's no pressure to do anything they're not ready for.
Every child is different, but most parents notice changes after 3 to 4 sessions. Calmer at home, better sleep, fewer meltdowns. Some children respond even faster.
Yes. All our horses are chosen for their calm, patient temperaments. Activities happen on the ground and later on therapeutic riding, and I'm always within arm's reach. Safety comes first, always.
Children from around 5 upwards, teenagers, and adults. If you're unsure whether it suits your child or adult person, ask me and I'll give you an honest answer.
Something comfortable that can get a bit mucky. Closed-toe shoes are essential. We're outdoors with horses, so dress for the Irish weather.
No. If your child is struggling and you think this might help, that's enough. You don't need a letter from anyone.
Yes. I hold Equimotional Wellbeing Coaching Certificate and BHS Coaching, also I have worked as Special Needs Assistant.
