Your Child, New Friends & Patient Horses
How Group Sessions Work?
What Happens in a Group Session?
I bring together small groups of 3–6 children for hands-on, horse-based activities, right on the Limerick and Clare border. These aren't riding lessons. Children learn by doing, working together, and connecting with our horses.
There's grooming, leading, simple challenges, and plenty of time just being around the horses. It's amazing what comes out when children aren't being asked to sit still and listen.
Where childrens feel comfortable
I run each session myself, and they last about an hour. Your child doesn't need any experience with horses, most don't. Our horses are chosen specifically because they're gentle, patient, and brilliant with young people. Snowy Wally, Wilma, and Socks have a way of meeting children exactly where they are.
Whether your child is shy, anxious, neurodiverse, or simply looking for something different, group sessions give them a place where they can feel comfortable and included.
Why Group Sessions Work Well
Real Social Skills
Unlike a classroom or therapy room, group sessions create natural opportunities for children to practise communication, turn-taking, listening, and cooperation.
Learning to Stay Calm
Horses respond honestly to emotions. When children calm themselves and try again, the horse responds with trust. These moments teach more than any conversation.
Finally Belonging Somewhere
For children who struggle to fit in or who feel different, group sessions offer a place where everyone starts on equal ground. The horses don't judge, and neither do I. Children often form deep connections.

What Parents Are Saying
"We tried many therapies. Within weeks of starting with Majella, Bobby's selective mutism was nearly gone. The horses help kids feel safe in a way that's hard to find anywhere else."
"Even after the worst school days, my daughter always leaves Majella's in brilliant form. It totally transforms her day."
"It's the best experience you can give your child. Majella puts 100% of her passion for horses and children into every single session."
