Scropton Riding for the Disabled
"Activities with horses to support the health & wellbeing of local people with additional needs"
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
Horses are amazing animals and through them we have opportunities to make real and lasting differences to the lives of local children & adults with additional needs. Our horses and activities offer opportunities to develop a wide variety of life skills, improve health & well-being, build abilities and all whilst having fun. We help an enormous range of disabilities; physical, learning, sensory, multiple and profound, and are extending our reach to those with mental health problems as well.
Activities include riding, horse care and horse agility allowing us us to work with a wide range of disabilities and needs.
Our activities enable our participants to:
• Develop a variety of life skills including self-esteem, self-awareness, empathy, relaxation, empowerment, focus and concentration. Being with horses can have a considerable impact on mental health and well-being.
• Benefit from physical exercise, helping develop strength, coordination and motor skills.
• Develop communication, teamworking, turn-taking and a variety of other social skills. Taking part in activities alongside staff, volunteers and other participants provides unique ways to progress these people related skills
• Learn horse related skills, giving individuals opportunities to develop riding as a sport and to work alongside horses

We offer a variety of activities with horses to suit different needs and abilities. Activities are run in small groups with a maximum of 6 participants, although a small number of 1:1 sessions are also available.
Most participants take part in activities on a weekly or fortnightly basis but you can also book for a one-off session and we regularly offer taster sessions to come and try our activities.

Riding involves working in a cooperative partnership with a horse. Participants can benefit from the help of leaders and sidewalkers to help them, or can develop independent riding skills
Agility
Horse Agility involves working as partners with a horse on the move, developing handling and negotiating obstacles.
