Yesterday, Katherine, Louisa and our Changing Lives Through Horses students had a wonderful opportunity to visit the Northumbria Police horses.

Moments like this gently open doors, helping young people begin to imagine what their futures could look like—especially when they already share a love for horses!

Seeing the care, teamwork, and different pathways involved offered a glimpse into how that passion can grow.

Thank you to Northumbria Police for welcoming us and helping our students see new possibilities ahead.

Thank you ponease_official for donating more Giddy Up to support our horse’s health. Since starting on Giddy Up Bob has become a new man 🤍

Yesterday the team came together for training led by Paula.

Regular development sessions for coaches help us to build consistent approaches across the team. It creates an opportunity to discuss ways we can best support both horses and riders to create the best possible experience for both.

We took the opportunity to assess and settle in new arrivals Frank and Daniel. We worked on asking them to stop and go from the lightest possible aid. The more consistent we are with how we apply the aids, the more predictable ridden work becomes for the horses. This has a positive impact on their mental state.
