Changing Lives Through Horses

The British Horse Society (BHS) runs a programme called Changing Lives Through Horses. It helps children and young people learn new skills and feel more confident, all while working with horses.

When and who it is for

• The programme runs in small groups from Tuesday to Thursday, 9.30am to 2.30pm
• Children aged 5 to 15 can come twice a week if they:
  • don’t go to school full-time
  • have been excluded from school
  • or have special educational needs or disabilities (SEND)
• Young people aged 16 to 25 can come up to three times a week if they:
  • are not in school, college, or work (this is called NEET)
  • have SEND
  • or need help getting ready for more learning or a job

What you will learn

You can earn certificates and even professional qualifications. The course helps you:

• get back into learning or training
• feel more confident and proud of yourself
• and get ready to be part of the working world
