Just a Cuppa, a Chat, and a Gentle Introduction
What to Expect
Every session is shaped around your child. They lead, I guide. We work towards real, noticeable progress, session by session.
We Start With a Chat
You and I have a cuppa while your child explores the yard at their own pace. I'll ask about what's been happening at home, what you've already tried, and what you're hoping might change.
No forms to fill in, no clinical questions. Just an honest conversation between two people who want the same thing for your child. This is also your chance to ask me anything.
Your Child Meets the Horses
Your child gets a full 60-minute session with the horses, the same as any regular visit. They'll meet Snowy, Wally, Wilma, or Socks, and we'll work through real activities together. Some children want to brush straight away.
Others prefer to stand back and watch from the distance for a while. We follow their lead entirely. By the end, you'll have experienced exactly what sessions look like here, and you can decide whether it's right for your child.
Three Ways We Work Together
Every child is different. I offer three approaches, all one-to-one, all led by your child's needs, all with our gentle horses.

What We're Looking For
How Your Child Responds
Does being around the horses calm them? Are they curious? Nervous? Engaged? These first reactions tell us a lot about what might work in future sessions.
What Feels Right for You
This is also your chance to see whether you feel comfortable here. Whether you trust me with your child. Whether the setting feels right. That matters just as much.
Whether to Continue
By the end of the hour, we'll both have a sense of whether this could help. If it's not the right fit, I'll tell you honestly and give my honest opinion.
What Makes This Different
We Are Here
I'm not trying to convince you to book more sessions. If I don't think this will help your child, I'll say so. I've turned people away before when I felt another approach would suit them better. This hour is about finding out honestly.
You'll Know By the End
Most parents tell me they knew within the first twenty minutes whether this felt right. Trust that instinct. If your child seems calmer, more engaged, more themselves around the horses, that's your answer.
