Meet Healing Horses and alpacas

I have 24 years experience as a special needs teacher. In 2024 I completed a level 3 diploma in equine care and a diploma in equine facilitated learning with horse haven. I am a registered practitioner with One Equine and am a senior practitioner accredited with the ACCPH. 

My approach is a child-centred one, but also one that values the welfare of the animals involved. Horses are sentient beings and when allowed to, they will make natural connections with people. The programme focuses on learning about horses and their care, enabling the development of self confidence, emotional wellbeing and communication skills. 

I offer 1:1 sessions which last for 1 hour. Sessions can also involve siblings or friends, if suitable. Sessions are planned and tailored to meet the individual needs of each participant. We use a large barn with stables and have indoor and

outdoor learning spaces.

From January 2027, we will be offering school visits. We can bring alpacas to schools and do small group or class sessions, focusing on the needs of the children. We can also welcome small groups or classes here at the farm, offering lessons and hands on experiences that are fun and interactive.
